Unfortunately the names can be confusing. I don't believe there ever was a Spyder2PRO Suite; but there is currently a Spyder2 Suite (with fewer tools and features in the software), and there was previously a Spyder2PRO Studio. This is an older product, still sold by some resellers. No difference in the Spyder2 involved in this and the newer version, and users can update the S2PRO software at the CV website to the latest versions (to gain projector calibration, ambient light, and other features), but the other software included in the bundle will be older. The current version is called Spyder2PRO (no suite, no studio, just PRO), and includes PrintFIX PLUS in it, instead of ProfilerPLUS, among other bundle changes. But all of these products are really about monitor calibration; those serious about printer profiling will want the PrintFIX PRO Suite, which includes Spyder2PRO, and PrintFIX PRO.
