Having a spectro is an almost necessary tool for serious profiling.  Flatbed
scanners can be used, but the spectros are a major advantage if you do much
of this.

I use the DataColor Spyder 3 Print.  I'm not sure what all the pros and cons
of the competitors are.  I do like the ability to print 21-step test strips,
with the gradients above the patches so I can see the ramp, and have them
fit as a single strip across a letter size piece of paper.  Even though the
DataColor unit does now have strip reading, I do it manually -- takes all of
one minute.

The unit I use has text output that I open in Excel for graphing -- very
nice and, again, rather necessary in my view.
