This will be a closed thread with all of the spectrophotometer readings of all the commercial materials I have.

This is what the chart will look like. This is a reading from a X-Rite N5 Gray Card.



The upper left side has all the data fields. The middle left is the D65 bullseye. The lower left is the RGB Color Balance which shows the saturation for each primary color.

The upper right side is the spectrum chart. Below that is the CIE plot and the Color Temp gauge.

The Y value in xyY is a foot lambert measure, not the standard cd/m2 measure we are used to seeing. Multiply it by 3.4262590996353834259536468581083 to get the proper nits value.

With the new CalMAN out I had to do a bit of work getting the layout back. I believe I've also fixed the size issue so there's no more fuzziness - knock on wood.

I spent some time with the new Sencore and have some results of the Center Stage XD color testing like I mentioned I'd try to get around and do.

Our Sencore OTC-1000 was calibrated at their facility against a Photo Research PR650 Spectra Colormeter (ID#73P650-1, SN 60940101). An Epson 7500UB that Epson sent us was calibrated to D65, x=.313 y=.329 on the 1931 CIE chart using a white reflectance standard target from NASA.

First, the Epson 7500UB was calibrated to the NASA reflectance target. Then, the target was replaced with the Center Stage XD screen material to measure what difference in color it had to the calibrated reference. The measured result shows a color value of x=.315, y=.333 or a color shift of x=+.002, y=+.004, dE=2.5. The resulting color temperature was 6345K. Delta RGB measured red +/-0.0%, green +/-0.0% and blue -2.9%.
