Calibrator huey - need info

published by Tsukasa on Mon, 01/21/2008 - 6:40pm

Hello,
possibly not the very precise ontopic for the forum, but since people here are professionals, maybe they know:
I am going to buy a Huey Pro calibrator:

There are a couple of ways to do this. One other solution would be the spider 2 express ( I think they came out with a spider 3 with different bundles, one with a print calibration too).
Anyway It's a pretty good solution anyway.

Huey pro is okay, I have one. I'm not all that informed about the differences of calibration devices, but I guess it is "good enough" for most.

I have no experience with it. I use the X-Rite Monaco Optix XR calibration system. It works on my Mac and Window systems.
