ColorVision Printfix+Spyder: does it work ?

[les]

Forgive my ignorance. From all I read here and elsewhere, monitor and

printer profiling appers to be VERY important. So, my question is:

will the above package ($500 @ B&H) do a decent job ?

[ssonne]

Yes.<br>

Best used with a good quality monitor btw...<br>

Which printer do you own ? <br>

Printfix currently supports the following Epson printers: C62, 1270, 1280, 1290, 2000P, 2100, 2200, 5500, 7600, & 9600, plus the Canon i950 and S9000.<br>

Please note that if your printer is not listed, PrintFIX will NOT work...<br><br>

I picked up a once used Spyder on Ebay pretty cheap, and it was nice to see what my photos actually looked like for the first time ;)<br>

Thanks Stephen,

I want to get One of those (depending on availability: S900, S900, i950, i9100). Yes, I have noticed that PrintFix only works with a limited number of printers (I wonder why ?).

I have had both with my Epson 7600 the spyder is great but alas the printfix was disastrous, my advice is to forget it and save yourself some money and have a profile made for your printer professionally.See my post about posterized print with Epson 7600: http://www.photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=00680F
