ONLY if the unit is a DT41-UV/T (the key is the T). I have one so I know. It has to say T, there has to be a switch on the bottom to move from reflective to transmissive, and there is a separate calibration for both (and target to do so).

thanks. figured.. they seem to be pretty rare ?.. compared to the regular DTP 41s that flood ebay?

but also the only affordable way to calibrate backlite film?

Yes and yes.
