Decisions, decisions. After realizing that I can either keep burning through ink and paper or I can calibrate my monitor, I've decided to go with the latter. In my price range (sub $200) it looks like there are 2 choices.
ColorVision Spyder & Pantone Huey
The only difference I can see is the type of hardware used by both (X vs I shaped sensors). Aside from that, Colorvision offers a "suite" that has software based printer calibration also. Given that printer calibration is WAY out of my budget, that might be nice to have. But, is there really any substantial difference between the two?
Both work on Macs and PCs, which is good because I'm upgrading my Toshiba Laptop for an iMac once they pull the trigger on the penryn upgrade. I'm going to assume both will let me install on multiple computers. I use a Canon Pixma pro9000 to print, if that makes any difference.
