I have just found this link of the manufacturer of the CR30.

https://www.chnspec.net/Spectral-Colorimeter-CR-30.html

It does specifiy: spectrophotometer and look at the spectral range: 400-700 nm in 10 nm steps, which very similar to the 380-730 nm range of the i1Pro2 (also in 10 nm steps). This might contribute to the very good results in generating RGB-printer profiles with ArgyllCMS. It should be superior to the Spyderprint device that only uses color filters to establish the LAB-values (not a true spectrophotometer).

The software runs on Windows only and needs a com-port: maybe a virtualisation is possible in MacoS. The software is called ColorQC2 and is necessary to capture the LAB-values and the spectral data needed by ArgyllCMS to create the printer profile.
Ok, thanks.

I have made a new A4 target with pseudo-scrambled patches for the CR30 with 300 patches and 21 grey steps. I will upload it later with a rudimentary how-to manual if I have some time, because it is rather busy at work now.
