Hi. Do you know where you can get these probes from Carol?----- Original Message ----- From: "Carol Pearson" <carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

I also use that one and like it, though there used to be an older model of the Colortest (probably before Jackie's 2000 model) that I really loved and I felt was a better all-rounder if you only have one; but alas that's gone by the wayside now so you'll be best probably to go with the Colorino. The one thing about this is that it takes ordinary batteries, unlike the old model where I needed to send it back for a replacement battery and that died within a few months!Sorry, now I'm waffling! -- Carol carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxOn Monday, April 20, 2009 3:39 PM (UK time), Ibrahim Gucukoglu at ibrahim_gucukoglu@xxxxxxxx said:Hi Jackie. Thanks for the info. I think I'll be getting a caretech model, though I know one of them I was told costs hundreds of pounds, certainly more than I would be willing to spend. £70 sounds pritty good however, especially if its ultra small as I love compact gagets. I'll be at sight village in July, I'll probably take a look then and see what is available. All the best and thanks for your suggestions. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie Cairns" <jackie.cairns@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, April 20, 2009 3:25 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: colour probesHi Ibrahim I have three, and believe me when I tell you I use them all. I know you don't like the Cobolt detector, so I'll tell you what I can about the other two. These are the Colortest 2000 and Colorino, both from Caretec. I love these two, particularly the Colorino, as it is nice and small. The Colortest has lots of other features including games, clock, alarm and system info. I don't know how much it costs as I was given it. The Colorino must have cost me about £70, but I bought it a few years ago now. This one goes everywhere with me as it's small, and acts as a light probe as well. I highly rate the Caretec probes, but others may offer you further suggestions or opinions on their findings too.

I'm vaguely interested in buying a colour probe to help with sorting the washing, matching clothing etc. I've tried and dislike the Cobolt model, so I was wondering if anyone could give me an idea as to what else is available. I believe Caretech models are good so information on these would be appreciated as well as their approximate costs. All the best, Ibrahim. ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
