Datacolor SpyderX Studio: Photography Suite of Photo Tools for Precision Control, from Capture to Editing and Print

finally gave in to buying this kit to get the best out of my new printer and wow doesn't it make a difference might seem a lot to pay but will give more reliable results and at home to no waiting for them to arrive.

printed the 9 A4 advanced calibration pages (on expensive canon paper, using expensive canon ink) on the Pixma PRO-100s, spent more than a hour reading all the tiles for what???? The printed picture resolves a nearly pure white background (RGB of 99.8%, 99,8%, 99,8%) as yellowish hue... what is the point of this device? I returned the whole packet and bought just the Spider X PRO instead and I'm still debating if the new "greenish" hue of my monitors is the "calibrated" real calibration.....

Used to calibrate printer profiles and make printing more predictable, a bit fussy to use but worth the effort for quality prints.

I got this to match my screen, work and prints. What it did was make my screen darker, which in turn made my prints lighter. I did all the set up. Just a con. Best thing to do is use your naked eye, print you photo and hold it next to your screen and play around with the setting untill they match. It's free and faster then the set up of this over priced rubbish.

It's not a like or dislike but if you download and print all the directions for both monitor and printer calibration you will have approximately 23 pages not counting the four color pages to print for printer calibration or the 13 pages for the color cube ( which is used to calibrate for your camera if you are also doing the photography ). Fortunately most pages are diagrams with some text. Calibrating your monitor is fairly strait forward. Allow yourself plenty of time to to calibrate the printer. Somewhat rime consuming (at least the first time around) but well worth it. It took me awhile to get the feel of sliding the color print reader so don't get discouraged and don't push to hard.

Arrived as stated. Meets my needs and works very well!

The Spyder Print, I learn from other reviews, is not Mac compatible. Why was that not part of the specs, particularly when photographers tend to prefer Macs? Poor to no instructions. Poor online support. Totally frustrating and waste of time and effort. Profiles not saving. Not user friendly. Amazon needs to better vet products. Been bitten before. So, more money but no benefit. The monitor calibrator works, but that gets one star only because the vendor is incompetent and lacking in integrity. Too long stuck in this web having my lifetime sucked out of me.

screen and printer color calibration and profiles made great.
