need help again on color calibration

[Lionheart]

I've asked this before, but I'm still unsure what to buy out there. I need to be able to calibrate our cameras, monitors and printers. If I take a picture of a color calibration chart, upload to the pc, calibrate the monitors so what we see on the monitors matches the color chart, and what gets printed matches the color chart. What systems are out there that will do these things for me in one package, easy to use and moderately priced. Any help from you gurus out there would be appreciated. I've had this on my task list for a year now and I'm only now getting ready to buy. I've narrowed it down to Greta Macbeth's Eye One Photo for $1495 and Color Vision's Print FIX Pro Suite for $649. Any opinions greatly valued, since I'd like to order it today or tomorrow.
Thanks in advance
Leon

I'm only using monitor calibration but been pretty happy with the Monaco Optix package for that. It's not expensive (well, for photo stuff it's not expensive ) and doing just the monitor probably corrects 90% or more of the problem.

Shoot Smarter has some info that you'll find helpful. You'll have to register but it's free.

Thanks. I'll check it out right now. The printer calibration is important for us because photos are a huge part of how we communicate with our ceramists in the labs. X-rite has a calibrated scanner/camera that color maps teeth directly and stores the data for e-mailing or printing but it's so technique sensitive that we had more crown and veneer remakes using it (ouch-it's now a $6000 paperweight in our lab.) than using just hand written shade prescriptions and drawings. Photos give the ceramist an accurate picture for characterization, chroma intensity and distribution, value and translucency, but the problem is communicating hue correctly.
