Oops, I missed number four. The accuracy of the Spyder3 Print spectro  
is equivalent to the EyeOne spectro, so it should be equal or a bit  
better than the CMunki. They all do a good job. The CMunki is just  
very limited in the number of patches per page, number of patches per  
profile, and in terms of adjustments and options, which are pretty  
much nonexistant.
