Hi Ricardo I absolutely agree with Neil here talking from experience, consistent and accurate reproduction has become a very important part of my daily workflow and I would not go back to wasting inks, paper and most of all time.
In a digital age particularly working with high resolution scans on a calibrated Flextight 848 (custom profiled by Thomas Holm) from transparencies I can show a client exactly what the images will look like and it's very reassuring when the proof print matches the screen accurately. I bought an iOne Monitor on recommendation by Neil Barstow and saw that it was much better (in my opinion) than my Optical/Spyder combination which I sold immediately. I am more than happy with my results but more importantly so are my clients and I have people like Neil and Thomas Holm to thank for all their expertise.
