Nick,thanks for your advice. However, our equipment is set up for working
with CMM (Radius calibrating tools, making and editing icc-profiles etc). I
was just curious to know what monitor gamma you are using for Lightjet
device, as well as the necessary resolution to come as close as possible
to Jeffreys goal (input=output) without any "interpolated artificial data".
As the interpolation software of these devices are quite incredible you
don't need, for normal production, very hi-res-files.
