For the fun of it I brought out my spectrolino and a few paper samples. Used three measurement modes: no filter (-s -fn), no filter + FWA D50 no UV (-s -fn -iD50_0.0.sp) and UV-filter (-s -fu). Mean of three samples (n=3), standard deviations negligible. Ahh and argyll 1.0.3, since thats whats on my xubuntu machine right now. See attached pdf's for spectral plots. Paper 1 95.5 0.6 -2.1 / no filter 95.5 -0.1 0.1 / no filter + FWA D50 no UV 95.5 -0.8 3.3 / UV filter Paper 2 95.9 1.2 -6.9 / no filter 95.8 -0.2 -2.9 / no filter + FWA D50 no UV 96.0 -0.5 -1.5 / UV filter Paper 3 96.4 1.0 0.8 / no filter 96.3 0.9 1.2 / no filter + FWA D50 no UV 96.5 0.6 2.1 / UV filter Paper 4 95.4 1.9 -6.1 / no filter 95.3 0.5 -1.9 / no filter + FWA D50 no UV 95.4 0.1 0.3 / UV filter Paper 5 96.6 1.3 -0.4 / no filter 96.6 0.7 1.4 / no filter + FWA D50 no UV 96.8 0.3 3.1 / UV filter Paper 6 93.7 2.7 -8.3 / no filter 93.6 1.1 -3.8 / no filter + FWA D50 no UV 93.8 1.1 -3.2 / UV filter The FWA compensation using D50_0.0.sp lies approximately between the no filter and UV filter readings for paper 1, 3 and 5. Paper 2, 4 and 6 are closer to the UV filter reading. UV filtered readings having higher response below ~420nm. How is that? Martin Weberg
