Title: NEC SpectraViewII co-exist with HP APS
Post by: robertDthomas on August 18, 2009, 12:05:27 pm

I have been using HP's APS that came with my Z3100 and the supplied puck to profile my old NEC 2080UXi and it no longer is able to be profiled so I have sprung for the big one an NEC 2690 with Spectraview II and the new puck.  I still want to use the APS for profiling and calibrationg the printer but will that interfere with the use of Spectraview to profile the new monitor?  Also any tips you have on using Spectraview as it seem to be a rather formidable peice of calibration software.

Thanks

In theory it shouldn't (its just an EyeOne Pro right)? Unless HP had X-Rite put some kill switch ROM in the unit, it should work fine.

I use my puck that came with APS (on my mac) and I own both the NEC 2690 monitor w/ spectraview and z3100 printer. No problems in the 6 months I've had the monitor.
