I've done fine with a Spyder 2 Express, the bargain version of the Spyder line. I believe Spyder 3 Express is the current version. It has limitations, but it can match the color cast of my monitor to my printer with precision. I adjust the luminance based on a grayscale and the printer output. If i tweak a file until it looks just right on my monitor, the print from my 2880 will be spot on. That's all I need. That said, I'd like to have the Pro version, so I could calibrate my second monitor as well.The Express version only allows you to do one monitor. The difference is in the software; the sensors are the same. Although I use the second monitor only for tools when working in PhotoShop, it would be nice if it were an exact match.
