Helen, as you're a perfectionist, when you get this bundle you might
want to download Bill Atkinson's profile targets for the Eye-One Pro,
because the standard PMP offering only goes up to 918 patches. With a
well-linearised printer this may be enough, but with my old Epson 2100
with standard driver + inks I found that 4096 patches were needed to
beat it into submission.

Beware also of GM's pricing policy: if, like me, you buy their
'Photostudio Pro' bundle, then the 'Basic' version of MeasureTool that
comes with it won't generate custom profile targets, average multiple
target readings or produce density readings directly (although you can
of course do this yourself from the Lab readings). They use their
dongle mechanism to very precisely limit what you can do in each
bundle unless you pay for an upgrade.

Having said that, multiple target readings can be averaged in Excel
and you can derive your own density readings using BabelColor (or
whatever mechanism you're currently using).

Alan
