A while back I was looking for a used UV Densitometer and kept running into cheap densitometers on ebay.  They were mostly 2nd party branded and had come as OEM equipment included with large commercial presses.  No documentation, no software, same disclaimer: powers up fine but unable to test (No Software!)  Never did find out what they were designed to measure and no idea of what software might be needed, or cost, just for a simple density measurement and definitely no profile making software without spending hundreds.  These may be usable but I'd do an awful lot of research first.
