Re: Type of densitometer

2006-04-14 by Johnny Eades

Hello Terence,

I recently started with QTR and discovered that I desired to go beyond
the canned profiles (which by the way worked fine enough) to make my
output calibrated to my equipment. I got an X-Rite 810 densitometer
from a seller on Ebay and was very satisfied with it. Now  I have
included Color in my photographic world, I bought (also from and Ebay
seller) PrintFixPro by Colorvision. I can also use it for reading BW
densities also. One of our members has uploaded to the files section
an Excel spreadsheet to convert the readings to a text file that can
be plugged into the tools with QTR for creating your personal curves
for your ink/paper combinations.

Your friend in Photography,

Johnny Eades
