It's a little faster than the CM2C that I have. The larger the 
squares, the faster you can go since you don't have to spend as much 
time making sure that the colorimeter is positioned correctly. That 
of course runs out after you reach a certain size square. 1cm x 1cm 
is about the smallest I would recommend with a single patch at a time 
system. 1.5 x 1.5 cm is a little better, and anything over 2x2cm is 
getting kind of big.

Sounds like they may have actually made some improvements in the 
whole package. The stand alone application was really needed, and it 
seems like the colorimeter may be more accurate than the CM2C. This 
might finally be a better solution than a scanner system for low cost 
profiles.

With the older system that I have, I was getting better profiles with 
EZColor version 2.0. You can see why I was unhappy with it.
