Greetings Whoosie! Great to see you still around. I would encourage anyone with interest to purchase a colour spectrometer for their work. They can be an extremely inexpensive investment, and, happily, the bulk of the professional grade tools are supported under Free Software. Further still, the entry level models will do a terrific job and not cost a significant amount of money. An entry level Huey for example, is under 90 dollars American. I would avoid ColorVision's line, simply because they appear to have a great deal of animosity / ignorance toward the Free Software ideology (1). In addition to this, their Spyder2 -- despite being supported under Argyll, relies on a proprietary binary blob firmware -- which we all know takes us down a dark and ugly path. Pantone's on the other hand, works wonderfully as well as being attached to the industry standard Gretag / Macbeth trademarks. IF you purchase a product from Pantone, please contact them and tell them that you purchased it because it is supported by Argyll. I have already done so, and their response has been positive. A full list of supported colour spectrometers can be found at Argyll's main site (2). jcornuz has a wonderful blog with all of the beginner steps to getting a colour management system up and running and generating ICC profiles for your monitor (3). I hope this helps someone out, TJS (1) http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/openicc/2007q4/001026.html (2) http://argyllcms.com/ (3) http://jcornuz.wordpress.com/category/tutorials/
