I tried using dispcal -v -o ... using my Eye-One Pro instead of the
Eye-One LT---I bought the LT first and then decided I needed the second
for profiling my printer. I used a slightly different set of
parameters and monitor settings, but the Eye-One Pro seems to do a
better job. I now have a calibration/profile that looks more
reasonable, but I think there is still room for improvement. I could
try the more extende approach described in the documentation, but if I
understand, it shouldn't make much difference vis-a-vis the calibration
LUT which will be loaded in the video card. Am I right about that?
