Digital BW, The Print

I am quite happy with my Optix, now owned by xrite.  I use it with 
an Eizo LCD and a Mitsubishi CRT.  No problems, easy to use and does 
not require a lot of time.

them than any other unit at this time, but am hesitant because of 
the dearth of any commentary regarding their gear.

just want to know if it works for you, and if yes/no, why.
