I was very pleased to see this when I opened the box. The spine on
mine came apart so the box kinda flaps around when opened but I don't
really care since I don't leave it open other than when I'm using the
devices. It makes perfect sense to have some storage device for these
things. I have no problem tossing the box for my graphics tablet in
the trash since I don't plan to ever put that away. I plan to use the
Spyder2Pro twice a month and the PrintFIX Pro as often as I need it.
(which will probably been more frequently once I get the newly
announced Cannon Pro9500).
Yes, the original Spyder cigarbox did not have the spine glued, it opened flat to the table. But with the new version someone apparently thought that it should be attached, and the after-the-fact attachment is none to solid. I've suggested they should move one way or the other, and either glue it securely, or not at all...
Speaking of which, will the PrintFIX Pro work with these new Cannon
printers?
I have the luxury of working with prerelease units on occasion, but when I do, I'm not in a position to discuss it until they are released. I worked with the Epson R1800 in Japan way before it was available in the US, and was relieved to find that (despite the red and blue inks) our products profiled it nicely. I've not had that opportunity with the new Canons (in fact I don't get the impression that anyone has yet) but will certainly talk to them about it at PMA this weekend. Given that these devices use RGB drivers, I can't imagine that we won't be able to build good RGB profiles for them. Haven't seen an RGB-driven ink color combination yet where that wasn't true; but I'll look forward to trying them and finding out for sure...
