That would be Spyder2express; which is now cross-platform (Mac & PC, 
ColorPlus was just PC), and which includes the new Spyder2 colorimeter, to replace the 
older model used in ColorPlus. And at the same price ColorPlus sold for. 
We're always trying to make color management more affordable and easier to use...

Well, before PrintFIX PRO, you would have been talking about how many 
thousands of dollars this would cost you, not how many hundreds. We'll keep working 
on lower prices and more affordable solutions, but we can only work one miracle 
at a time... <G>
