I looked at this product yesterday at the exposition. I've requested
information ... the results seemed very good and the price was much
more reasonable than other, similar products in years past.
I have not seen much need for it given my present printing setup
(Epson R2400 plus two Epson papers, with their supplied profiles),
but if you're looking at other papers for which no profile exists, it
would be a good time saver.

=====================
I recently finished beta testing a new product from ColorVision,
the makers
of Spyder2 and Spyder2PRO, called PrintFIX PRO. Just as Spyder2
provides
accurate monitor profiling, PrintFIX PRO makes custom printer
profiles for
any printer/ink/paper combination.
The results of my tests with PrintFIX PRO were awesome. I have
never had
better screen to print matching in the many years I've been doing this
stuff. PrintFIX PRO walks you through the entire process of printer
profiling. You start by printing a target pattern of color patches
which
you then read with their spectrometer to build a measurement file.
That
file is then used to build your profile, right on the spot. While my
profiles needed no adjustments, a full set of adjustments is
available for
fine-tuning and modifying your profiles. It's an impressive system.
Take a look at http://www.colorvision.com/index_us.html. (I have no
affiliation with ColorVision, other than having beta tested
Spyder2PRO and
PrintFIX PRO.)
