Didn't you have to buy it with any color controller? I'm on the Xeroc site
and it list this machine with either a Fiery EX3535, a Splash G3535 and a
Creo Spire CXP3535e?

OK.

EFI Color Profiler sounds good.

That's where they loose me. I find ColorWise a little convoluted as far as
getting a grip on exactly what transform happens where and how. But that's
me. (The difference between GCR Source and GCR Destination is not
immediately obvious, and is simply not documented in any user guide that I
have seen)

I like the word 'conveniently'.

The X-Rite DTP41 is a little more automated than the EFI Calibrator (which
is an EyeOnePro in EFI's clothing). Especially in view of the fact that
you'll be updating the calibratino quite frequently on this machine, if you
want to maintain any sort of minimal consistency. But the DTP41 will not
help you make monitor profile. But then, again, I did not see in EFI Color
calibrator that it includes a module for calibrating and profiling displays?
So it looks like you'll have to purchase that separately.

Yes, iQueue is an excellent alternative to this whole system. But what are
you going to make your profiles/calibration with?
