The iSis was one of the easiest device to integrate into our own profiling
software, it is very reliable (never froze during a reading) and reads a
target at a good speed.

Hello David,
I don't know how much profiling you do but I'd consider the Eye-One iSis,
Monaco PROFILER and ColorEyes Display Pro with the DTP94 bundle.
The Eye-One Pro is a versatile spectro but it tends to be the "Jack of
all trades, master of none" instrument. The Eye-One Isis on the other
hand is both faster and much more consistent/repeatable than the Eye-One
Pro and is switchable between UV-cut and no filter measurements. You'd
need two Eye-One Pros to do that.
As for display measurements, I believe it's still generally accepted that
a colorimeter like the DTP94 does an overall better job than a pure
spectro like the Eye-One Pro. Even though I use an Eye-One for my
displays (it's faster than a colorimeter), the results I get with my
DTP94 are "better" especially in the shadows where the results tend to be
smoother with the Eye-One.
As for profiling software, both major packages (ProfileMaker and Monaco)
do a decent job but Monaco tends to produce the better separation
profiles (smoother, better GCR in my opinion) and are more accurate for
things such as proofing. I've done some testing in the last month,
repeating some tests I did a few years ago, which showed that
ProfileMaker produced the slightly better A2B conversion but Monaco
PROFILER always had the better/more accurate B2A conversion.
In my world, I tend to need both packages. While I prefer Monaco's
profiles and feel they are superior to ProfilerMaker's, ProfilerMaker has
the better supporting cast....Measure Tool, ColorPicker and Profile
Editor. I've used X-Rite's ColorPort for a long time, especially for my
DTP70 but I've gone back to Measure Tool recently ever since I got my new
iSis XL and now I'm preferring Measure Tool over ColorPort for most chart
creation and measurement tasks.
Just my 2 delta E worth,
Terry Wyse

I am about to upgrade my printers, spectrophotometer, and software
packages. My current thinking is to get an Eye One Pro, Profilemaker 5,
and Color Eyes or BasICColor. I wanted to get any feedback and
recommendations on the selection as well as any recommendations for
where to buy it at a decent price. Please feel free to respond on the
forum or contact me off line.
