Seems to work but with some problems August 31, 2008
ColorVision PrintFIX PRO Suite (Win/Mac)
This product has some problems with final tuning of icc profiles. I also had trouble with the spectrometer but they replaced it promptly. The learning curve is a bit fuzzy. I need more time to work out the problems

I have not tested this product yet. I have not had time to install it properly because I have Vista. My review is about the service provided by the seller. The product arrived later than indicated, however, everything was brand new.

Great product - does what it says on the box with ease. The only advice I would give, is that when scanning the color swatches to set up the printer profile, be sure to put a few sheets of white paper under the swatch page, this stops the spectrometer from seeing any dark surface under the swatches and upsetting the results. The printer and monitor software walks you through the setup in an easy to understand way.
ColorVision PrintFIX PRO Suite May 28, 2008
Have had the ColorVision PrintFIX PRO Suite since April 2008. Initially I had problems with Windows Vista recognising the hardware, but once I downloaded and installed the Spyder3Print V3.0 software all was good. Documentation is not the best but you soon get the hang of it. Software is OK but could be better. I have made profiles for my Viewsonic 22" LCD monitor with the Spyder2 Pro colorimeter and am happy with the results. I have also made many profiles for my Canon i965 printer using generic inks with both Canon and Kodak photo papers. I get good and consistent results and the color casts are now gone. I am very happy with the product and would recommend to others interested in printing photos. Great product, especially for the $350 US price I paid.
 Great Product...but support has gone from OK to Poor January 23, 2008

I've had this product for almost one year. (It has a 2 year warranty) I found the product support initially to be quite good. This is a complex hardware/software suite. The software, especially for the printer calibration, is excellent. The people that designed it really wanted to make the user comfortable using the product. A few months ago, the spectrometer failed, and I received good support in sending me a 'new' one. The replacement was sent to the right address, but wrong name. Nonetheless, I received it and found it loosely packed in a box. It was obviously a refurbished unit. Worse yet, the spectrometer would not even calibrate. Now, after over a month of trying to get ANOTHER replacement, I get the sinking feeling that this company is a rudder-less ship. It is now called Colorvision ('Datacolor is dead'), and seems to be headquartered in Europe. The support site is weak, and the customer service person I talked to could care less. I would look elsewhere for color calibration products.
Update: to be fair, the above review did not focus on the product itself, but my frustration with the company. Colorvision has responded and sent me a new functioning spectrometer, and it appears they have gotten their act together. If I could, I'd add two stars to the above review, since I do use the system and appreciate the software upgrades that have made this system even better.
