Thanks everyone for the help! As I can see now, despite the measurement
geometry and permanent UV filter it still might work for my casual needs if
I fix it at SCE (specular component excluded) mode, so I feel like giving
it a try.
Still not sure about the .ti3 file contents though - would like to keep it
to absolute minimum e.g. patch code and the patch's spectrum. Is there
anything else required by the system?

Hi Tony!
Thanks for the info! So far my tests for measurement speed promise about
500 patches per hour. Half of that time is positioning the device so likely
to become faster if I come up with some sort of guidance system.
Unfortunately illumination is flash based so continuous scanning is not
possible.
About ..ti3 files - I see a bunch of them in the "bin" folder - do I just
take one as a template and replace the spectral readings from my device?
Must I put RGB and XYZ values to .ti3 file as well? (Original measured
spectral data and various photometric info can be saved, but I'm not sure
RGB is among them, will check later).

Some practical considerations:
Going by what I see in the manual the measuring patches are nicely small,
8mm standard or 3mm optional, but the contact area is a 24mm circle so you
might have to print somewhat large color patches for convenience in getting
the alignment right on every one. My DIY profiler (based on a commercial
spectrometer module) works well on 17mm patches but I need 4 sheets of
paper for only 343 patches. Once I'm satisfied that I'm getting good data
for each patch I then manually trigger the capture to the data file - it
takes a fair amount of time in total. I haven't written the firmware to
support scanning a sheet but it would be possible. It might be a similar
experience for you. Try hard to not get out of sequence in your field of
patches. My device displays the address of the next patch to measure which
is a very handy feature at about 45 minutes into the session!
I create .TI3 files using a spreadsheet and populate them with my 10 nM
spectral data sets. I imagine that your .TI3 file could be based instead on
the L*a*b* data from the instrument you are looking at, or on the spectral
data if it can save in that format.
It looks like a fine instrument that seems very promising at least for
the quality of the data.

Greeting!
Looking for any info on if/how the following spectrophotometer device can
be used to profile a consumer level inkjet printer.

The Konica Minolta CM-700d Spectrophotometer is a portable, bluetooth
compatible color measuring instrument that features a changeable aperture
setting.
Thanks in advance,
Nikolai.
