Digital BW, The Print

Having just gone through this I would bite the bullet on an Eye One Photo ie
a spectrometer.  You get good screen calibration, colour printer calibration
and B&W calibration.  Given B&W is never purely neutral it is often useful
to be able to read the hue.  I figured it was a big hit but a worse scenario
would be finding that the densimeter didn't cut it for me at a later date.
