Nothing wrong with this. The white calibration is just as effective as anything else in blocking light to the measurement head. When you're measuring ambient though, it can be more convenient to block light using some other means, hence suggesting that as one alternative.
Trying to get rid of the hassle using the ambient reading cap, I try placing the eye-one on an opaque surface (my desktop). Now without the -K setting:
That may work, but it depends on how well it seals. It's safer to use the white cal. tile. Note that minor variations in the black calibration are unlikely to have a major influence over the white reading, since it subtracts from the raw value.
Apart from the white point no difference between the DTP94 and eye-one readings using basiccolor display.
Sorry, I've no idea what basiccolor does, all I know is that (as best I can ascertain) the Argyll driver agrees with the X-Rite/Gretag driver as to the i1pro emissive calibration. I'd need a compelling reason to second guess what's in the instrument EEProm. Graeme Gill.
