Default BIOS Reviews TypeMaker ColorPlus

http://www.biosmagazine.co.uk/rev.php?id=173

"Monitor calibration devices were once the preserve of professional image editors and photographers, but Pantone and ColorVision have now made it possible for entry-level enthusiasts to afford this necessary component of the digital darkroom. If you work with digital images on a regular basis, a calibrated monitor is essential in order to produce prints that resemble their on-screen counterparts. Although its features are limited compared to high-end solutions that cost around £200 (ex. VAT), ColorPlus is one of the most intuitive and effective solutions we've tested and is an essential purchase if you're interested in getting the best image quality from your CRT, LCD or laptop monitor."



This looks like a highly useful tool for publishers and photographers, where color calibration is crucial to your work.

I bought one of these a couple months back, and it does improve the image on your monitor, but I found that its results were inconsistent. Running the calibration procedure twice in a row resulted in two different correction curves with noticeably different results.

I don't know whether to recommend caution, or to ask if my ColorSpyder is flaky.
