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?
