Hello guys,
As many of you, I am seeking for a color management solution. I have been reading recent treads with great interest but there are few things which I think werent covered yet.
First of all, my budget doesn't allow me to consider GretagMacbeth products. So far it seems that I would have to go with the Monaco EZcolor/Optix xr package or the ColorVision Printfix package.
For what it worths, ColorVision claim that the quality of the results to be expected from scanner based solutions (such Monaco) seriously depend on the quality of the scanner used in the process (which make sense to me). Now, I don't own a flatbed scanner nor have I ever felt a need to own one. If I was choosing the Monaco system, I'd get a scanner at the same time. Moreover, what do you guys think a decent scanner would be?
Also, is there any ColorVision PrintFix owners here? How good/bad is their system? It seems that this system is not very common here. As I understand it, PrintFix does nothing for monitor calibration (it only create profiles for the printer) so I assume that the ColorVision spyder2pro can work along with PrintFix for a total solution right???
Any imput would be greatly appreciated
regards
Seb
