Re: [datacolor_group] Are Datacolor Spyders any good?

Graceful reply to what seemed an, at best, naive attack. What separates this forum from competitors is the active presence of the two Davids. Knowledgeable help when ones does have problems is extremely valuable.
Kudos David.

That's what forums are for. Reading the Epson printer forums would scare any potential user away; yet I've had dozens of Epson printer models and haven't experienced but a small fraction of those issues.

The return rate on Spyders for technical reasons is down at a fraction of one percent, so your issues are not typical of user experience, even if they are typical of problems, if you follow my meaning.

The Spyder 3 had proven to be our least problematic product ever, and we continue to improve on it with internal tweaks over time. In fact, I've heard a lot more people complain about problems with competing colorimeters in the last couple of years than with Spyders.
