Datacolor User to User Support Group.

Thank you very much for your reply David.  

I am generally happy with the IP profiles and output but when they
need a little tweaking or there is a problem one is left with very few
options to remedy the situation.  IP's customer support is pretty well
nonexistent unless you pay >$600 per annum extra.  Quite different
from what I have seen of Colorvision's excellent responsiveness.

Thanks again.  I have had some experience building my own RGB profiles
with an Eye-one system but I'm not sure I want to venture into what
sounds like a CMYK nightmare.
