As I understand the ColorMunki itself needs factory recalibration after
some time in the field. That and the lack of information about it were the
main reasons I didn't buy the ColorMunki. I was quite set on ColorMunki in
the beginning because it's true spectrophotometer and I was about to buy
wide-gamut display. It's too late now, but I would like to ask for your
thoughts on this anyway :)
