 Have not tested the product yet... August 1, 2008
I have not tested this product yet. I have not had time to install it properly because I have Vista. My review is about the service provided by the seller. The product arrived later than indicated, however, everything was brand new.
 PrintFIX Pro June 12, 2008
Great product - does what it says on the box with ease. The only advice I would give, is that when scanning the color swatches to set up the printer profile, be sure to put a few sheets of white paper under the swatch page, this stops the spectrometer from seeing any dark surface under the swatches and upsetting the results. The printer and monitor software walks you through the setup in an easy to understand way.
ColorVision PrintFIX PRO Suite May 28, 2008
Have had the ColorVision PrintFIX PRO Suite since April 2008. Initially I had problems with Windows Vista recognising the hardware, but once I downloaded and installed the Spyder3Print V3.0 software all was good. Documentation is not the best but you soon get the hang of it. Software is OK but could be better. I have made profiles for my Viewsonic 22" LCD monitor with the Spyder2 Pro colorimeter and am happy with the results. I have also made many profiles for my Canon i965 printer using generic inks with both Canon and Kodak photo papers. I get good and consistent results and the color casts are now gone. I am very happy with the product and would recommend to others interested in printing photos. Great product, especially for the $350 US price I paid.
 Great Product...but support has gone from OK to Poor January 23, 2008

I've had this product for almost one year. (It has a 2 year warranty) I found the product support initially to be quite good. This is a complex hardware/software suite. The software, especially for the printer calibration, is excellent. The people that designed it really wanted to make the user comfortable using the product. A few months ago, the spectrometer failed, and I received good support in sending me a 'new' one. The replacement was sent to the right address, but wrong name. Nonetheless, I received it and found it loosely packed in a box. It was obviously a refurbished unit. Worse yet, the spectrometer would not even calibrate. Now, after over a month of trying to get ANOTHER replacement, I get the sinking feeling that this company is a rudder-less ship. It is now called Colorvision ('Datacolor is dead'), and seems to be headquartered in Europe. The support site is weak, and the customer service person I talked to could care less. I would look elsewhere for color calibration products.
You've Spent The Money on Your Printer and Monitor...Make Sure You Get Your Money's Worth September 2, 2007

I've been working with a Dell UltrsSharp 20 inch LCD for the past four years and never realized how far off the color was until now. The Spyder2PRO Professional Monitor Calibration tool and software worked like a charm. To me that was an added bonus.
My primary purpose for purchasing this item was the PrintFIX PRO Spectrocolorimeter and software. I'd purchased an Epson R1800 printer earlier in the year and truly wasn't happy with the prints it churned out. Tried a number of papers and profiles and nothing was quite right. After less than a half hour with PrintFix Pro of building a profile for Epson Premium Luster paper, the prints are spot on perfect.
Rather than installing the software in the box for both components, I downloaded the latest releases from the ColorVision website and everything installed like a charm on my Vista Ultimate 64-bit box. I'd suggest downloading the latest software for any product not just this item.
I used the 225 sample profile and if you shrink the margins on the 8.5 x 11.0 paper, it's no problem to have a profile in 15 minutes or less. I'm looking forward to profiling different papers for my printer and have every expectation that they'll be as true as my first.
I've seen the references to lousy vendor support but I had no need to contact ColorVision. Like most peripherals, following the install instructions is very important and while I've had some that were buggy in a 64-bit environment, PrintFix Pro Suite was perfect.
You've spent all that money on your monitor and printer, PrintFix Pro Suite is money well spent to insuring those products work their best.
