I've got the $$ Eye-One and the $$$$$ Spectrolino/scan and I have to say
that the Eye-One makes profiles every bit as good as the Spectrolino AND a
lot faster to boot. And with the Eye-One you've got an upgrade path to
Gretag's ProfileMaker Pro package.
The way I see it: get Eye-One Match for $3K and you can make good profiles
but you PROBABLY won't have enough control to make really good inkjet and
offset profiles and NO way to edit them if they need tweaked or....
Get the Eye-One Pro ($1.5K) and ProfileMaker ($3K for the complete package)
and for $4.5K you've got a good professional profiling solution for about
half the price of a Spectroscan/ProfileMaker package. We have several happy
customers with this exact combo. Plus, if you ever end up with a Best
ColorProof RIP, they've just added direct hardware support for the Eye-One
for calibration/linearization.
And it really IS more fun to take measurements with the Eye-One!
Just my $.02,
Terry
