Colour Management

Hi,

It is time to grasp the nettle! I have 3 screens that need colour calibration as only one seems reliable-ish at the moment.

There seem to be a myriad of solutions on offer, a friend gets on well with the Spyder2 Pro so that is high on my list, but I'm interested to know what do others use and if would you recommend them?

I am working my way (albeit slowly) through Tim Grey's Color management book. Great bedtime reading!

Colorvision Spyder2 works reasonably well. I have the older version but am considering updating to the 2 pro.

I have the spyder 2 which seems pretty good. I havn't used any others so can't say whether its better or worse than the competition

I have the Spyder Express which seems to work ok for me, but it will only calibate one monitor per computer.

I had the same, that the spider pro will only calibrate one screen.
I just calibrate my main working screen and not the other which I use for the fotoshop tools or other stuff open at the same time as PS.
Calibrating, in addition with having printer profiles made, one for each paper I use to print with, has made all the difference and I now get what I see on my calibrated screen onto a print. What joy!

Consider the Monaco OPTIX puck, it seems to be highly regarded on other forums I frequent.

Hi Clive,

My subject .... Windows will only allow one monitor profile to be loaded at a time meaning that on a dual monitor setup only one monitor will be correct.

Look at the Gretag Macbeth/X-rite Eye One, this is the only system that matched all of our workstation monitors at the museum....

All the best

I use the Gretag Macbeth Eye-One Display 2 and can very highly recommend it.
