Re: [colorvision_group] Spyder3/printfixpro appropriate for University Lab???

2008-03-31 by David Emerick

I¹ll second CD¹s suggestion. I am running a college lab for print and video
and have been happy with the PrintFix / Spyder bundle. BIG difference in my
profiles versus the canned!

does anyone have
an opinion as to whether or not the Spyder3 would be sufficient in creating

systems? For those of you with experience, is there a significantly
noticeable difference
between the quality of Epsons canned profiles vs those made with the
Spyder3? Pardon my
ignorance on the subject; this is my first venture into custom profiling and
I want to be sure
that purchasing a system will be money well spent. TIA



Well, I'm biased, but I would consider Spyder3Print to be fine for custom
profiling inkjets and various media for a university program. I've certainly
set it up for that a number of times, and seen a lot of success. So, the
Spyder3Studio bundle (Print, plus Elite) would be what you would want. I'm
sure others will give you some more specific pointers.
