> He gives the product "5 Moose"; it being Alaska, and all. I can't  
> resist posting a few quotes from his review:
> 
> I continue to be surprised that more people do not calibrate and  
> profile their computer display and their printer/paper combinations.  
> This is a critical issue for getting the results that you intend.
> 
> Spyder3Studio SR is the easiest package to understand and use that I  
> have tested.
> 
> You can start using Spyder3Studio SR without knowing anything and then  
> learn as you go. Each screen has a "Help" button at the top right that  
> takes you to a page that includes both basic and more detailed  
> information about that particular step in the process. Datacolor's  
> documentation is very well written.
> 
> The most improved component of the software is the printer paper  
> profiling. Now you can explicitly choose to use the combined color and  
> extended grays targets with the resulting linear workflow that  
> incorporates both targets.
> 
> A second area of improvement is the speed for reading the targets. It  
> feels as if the time to measure each patch is a third to one half the  
> time previously required.
> 
> Display calibration has always been a straightforward process with the  
> Spyder software and this has not changed.
> 
> Spyder3Studio SR is not inexpensive, but it is a great value when  
> compared to its competitors. This is definitely a 5 moose product.
