I didn't add that I have several profiles, one which is set up specifically to match the colour temperature and luminance of my reference light source (which I also measure with my hardware, Spyder2PRO). I can tell you quite honestly that when I get my prints back from the printer and compare them to my calibrated monitor profile viewed under my reference light I can tell if the printers equipment is out of calibration. It is impossible to set up a colour managed work-flow with the degree of accuracy my system provides using a software calibration tool. My monitor is a top end version and even contains a pre-set sRGB profile which pre-sets colour temp, gamma, luminance and contrast relative to the sRGB spec, you would be amazed at how far out that is too, the hardware calibrator just manages to get it into spec via LUTs. Carry on with your software cal tool if it's working for you but don't suggest that I don't know what I'm talking about, it's impolite and offensive.
