Hi Richard!
If I may "chime in"...
I've used the X-Rite "MonacoOPTIX XR" since 2004, and it has been absolutely
excellent.
I don't print my own images, I use a lab. But, with the XR's calibrated
screen, what I see is what
I get. I like it!
However, and this is a big however, Xrite have a lousy record for updating
drivers. I moved from XP
to Win7 and they'd rather tell you that your unit is outdated and to buy
another.
That being said, the DTP-94 Colorimeter that came with it is considered one of
the very best
consumer units available.
So, I tried the "Colour Eyes Display Pro" software (free trial). It work very
well with the DTP-94,
but is very expensive. I am about to try the Open Source HCFR software that
is said to run the
DTP-94 very well. When I've run it through it's paces, I will report
further. But, that may be a
day or three.
Hope this helps.
David.
