The "Eye One Display" calibration and profiling package (then sold by Gretag-Macbeth, now Xrite) was recommended to me independently by colleagues on both the Displays and ColorSync engineering teams at Apple when I asked them. They had every calibration tool, from the bottom to the top of the market, at their disposal and said that the Eye One Display was both the most consistent and the most reliable. I bought mine (the Eye One Display 2 model by that time) in late 2004 and have been completely satisfied with its performance despite all the system and technology changes it has been updated to manage over the past seven years. It's been replaced by the i1 Display Pro package, which is just about the same price I paid with much more functionality. I don't know how it compares in detail to the ColorMunki model, but I'll likely do the research soon and pick one or the other as my calibration utility since my Eye One Display 2 hardware is getting old and does not support the integration of ambient room lighting into the calibration and profiling. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
