What sensor do you have? it only be worth it to send back to Spectracal or Xrite if its the eye1 pro or better. the Spyder and Display2's are just throw away probes once out of calibration.

Its not worth it, just buy a new one from here. much cheaper. Look at all the package deals on this site from spectracal.

I've never heard of anyone recalibrating an Eye One Display 2. I didn't even think it was possible. It's usually cheaper to just buy a new one.

Hm... i have talked with an dealer in my home country and he claim you can reset the black level by the eye one devices.

They does it with the software color facts... is this possible with any other software?

and whats boots it?

thnx for help skyerjoe

edit: Or is it the normal procedure as i calbrate the internal sensor ( for example with color hcfr) with a black surface?

Iam little bit confused Smile

the only way to have it work for awhile is to "profile" it to a known Good Probe. So if your dealer has a new probe you can borrow you can take measurements with the new Probe for target IRE's and then measure the Same IRE's with your probe. then you tell HCFR to make the readings of your probe read like the readings of the New Good Probe. this way the Program is set to adjust the wrong readings of the old probe to measure the values of the Known Good Probe. it will not be exact but it will be fairly close. and over time this process will just get worse and less accurate.
