Once converted an old A3 HP pen plotter to carry a Spectrocam across targets with an HPGL driver. It worked but an HP Z does it much better. What is important is that the patch to sensor distance is like it should be, any higher position of the ColorMunki and the readings can still be accepted by the software but are not correct.The HP Z's take a longer measurement time on dark/black patches, you might consider that or adjust the dark patches that they are larger.
