Digital BW, The Print

Sorry, this went out with the incorrect title; and also sorry for the  
multiple reposts this will cause...

> Bruce Herman's of the Alaska Apple User's Group has written an

> He gives the product "5 Moose"; it being Alaska, and all. I can't  
> resist posting a few quotes from his review:
>
> I continue to be surprised that more people do not calibrate and  
> profile their computer display and their printer/paper combinations.  
> This is a critical issue for getting the results that you intend.
>
> Spyder3Studio SR is the easiest package to understand and use that I  
> have tested.
>
> You can start using Spyder3Studio SR without knowing anything and  
> then learn as you go. Each screen has a �Help� button at the top  
> right that takes you to a page that includes both basic and more  
> detailed information about that particular step in the process.  
> Datacolor�s documentation is very well written.
>
> The most improved component of the software is the printer paper  
> profiling. Now you can explicitly choose to use the combined color  
> and extended grays targets with the resulting linear workflow that  
> incorporates both targets.
>
> A second area of improvement is the speed for reading the targets.  
> It feels as if the time to measure each patch is a third to one half  
> the time previously required.
>
> Display calibration has always been a straightforward process with  
> the Spyder software and this has not changed.
>
> Spyder3Studio SR is not inexpensive, but it is a great value when  
> compared to its competitors. This is definitely a 5 moose product.
