I personally use the ColorMunki and the EyeOne Display for calibrating all the monitors in my studio and at our Bootcamp workshops to help students dial in the color just right. Working on a monitor that is not properly calibrated is like judging the color of a film transparency by holding it up to Christmas Tree lights! It just doesn't work! I've found the X-rite and EyeOne products to be the most universally accurate across laptop and desktop monitors - which seems to be more of a challenge for other brands of calibration devices. Every serious photographer should be calibrating their screen on a regular basis.

Thanks! Couldn't agree more. I use Spyder 3 and it's doing OK. The prints look like what's on screen. Only problem I had was the fact that my LCD screen was set to 100% brightness and my first lot of prints were sadly way too dark! I've since had a chat with my lab and they recommended 20% setting, so all is good again!
