Just tried with the EyeOnePro. I chose not to go any further than the
dispcal stage: I figure if I can't get good grays at that stage then it's
not worth going further on to generate a target, reading it and creating a
profile.

Here's the transcript of this session:

I don't quite understand the algorithms behind dispcal but one this is clear
to me. When dispcal iterates with "Computing initial curves" and then
"Computing update to calibration curves", it is clear dispcal is iterating
to minimize some criteria. Maybe the Avg neutral error? I don't know. But it
is clear to me that, as dispcal throws its 96 patches on screen, from 1 to
96, starting with the darkest ones, the color I see on this Eizo is not
neutral at all. I don't think it comes from my instrument as I don't get bad
neutrals with other packages I use with the same instrument. But, clearly,
there is something that fools dispcal into thinking that the values it gets
from the instrument are what they are. Here's what's going on: from patch 1
to patch 96, the color progresse from black to pinkish gray to pinkish
white. 

Thank's in advance for any help,
