Hi,
using a different profiler may not help, if it turns out that the
accuracy of
the instrument is the issue.

If you email me a sample xml file, then I might be able to create a tool to
translate it to a .ti3.

The .ti3 file format is documented here
<http://www.argyllcms.com/doc/ti3_format.html>,
and you can create dummy files using fakeread

Someone mentioned that it was probably easier than I was assuming, but it's
hard to
justify working on such an old, spot by spot instrument. I understand that the
more recent DataColor instruments will read a strip at a time, but I don't have
one of these to work on.
