I am trying to set up my digital photo workflow with colorsync and have a

6500...the images on the screen all look quite warm, yet when I read the
colors of various images I seem to have a high degree of cyan/ need more
red/ and a little more yellow. i an reading neutral highlights and grey
cards/Q-60 card for this "info". A kodak proof {from a local offset printer}
of a RBG-CMYK converted file also shows this shift...yet the monitor images
"look" fine.?? With ColorSync is a secondary monitor calibration system{ie.
Spyder} necessary? Thanks in advance.

It sounds like your monitor profile is wrong.
My experience has been that the ColorSync monitor calibrate
themselves OK but do not profile themselves OK. I have calibrated
them using their built-in capabilities and then profiled them using
our Spectrolino, a DTP-92 or the mc7 (Spyder's precursor) all to good
results
