Digital BW, The Print

Robert, I'm ordering the Cinema display as well, the I1 with ICS 
software is the SWOP cert choice, but for a cheaper alternative I read 
a few posts from a fellow with ICS on the colorsync list that the 
Sequel Squid display calibrator is a great alternative, lower price 
etc. I personally don't need SWOP certification, just want a good 
calibration system.
