If I can get monitor calibration software so that we can get scans of white/beige/cream colors that don't have a red hue, then that will solve the client's problem.

If you need to profile monitors under XP you might want to look at this product.

I've used the Eye-One Display (Not 2) and recommend it with some reservations. According to people I respect, the Eye-One Display 2 is greatly improved and probably one of the best monitor profilers available.
Note that the Eye-One Display is a colorimeter and not a spectrophotometer. There are those who say a colorimeter is better than a spectrophotometer for profiling displays, and there are those who disagree. The arguments are highly technical, and may be a case of both sides being right, depending on the situation.
Spectrophotometers are however _much_ more expensive than colorimeters.
Regardless, a colorimeter like the Eye-One Display 2 is designed to only measure emissive targets so, for all practical purposes, it can only profile a monitor.
The manufacturer is here:

but the guys at Chromix are a pleasure to work with, and can talk you through almost anything if you do a little research before calling them.
If you also need to profile the scanner you will either need a spectrophotometer, like the Eye-One Pro, and an appropriate software package (for example:

), or a program that allows you to scan a calibrated target and then profiles the scanner based on that scan.
SiverFast Ai (<http://www.silverfast.com/show/silverfast/en.html>) will let you do that, but I believe it is Mac only. I don't know about similar programs for the PC, but I know that there are some.
Hope this helps,
