Have any of you used the Spyder? I'm curious as to whether it suits my needs, I can hire one here for the weekend rather than buying it outright.

I'd like to calibrate 4 different monitors to respond the same as well as two printers, will it let me profile different devices and keep it all seperate?
Could you please provide a link to this 'Spyder'? I do not know what it is but it sounds like s very complicated contrapcion =)
Jamie, the Spyder is great for calibrating monitors, though I have not used ColorVision's higher-end software for calibrating printers. You should take a look at THIS ARTICLE which suggests (toward the end) that the newer GretagMacbeth Eye One Photo product is vastly superior for doing both monitor and printer (I've heard similar comments elsewhere, too.)
Ok I decided to go with the Spyder with OptiCal and then get the PrintFix option later on depending on what I think. The Eye One is just a bit far out of my reach.

Great article, thanks Mitch.
