ColorVision spyder2pro is a comprehensive system for professionally calibrating all types of monitors—including front projector displays—and for creating custom printer profiles for any PrintFIX Plus-supported printer.

The hardware component of spyder2pro is the award-winning Spyder2 colorimeter. This colorimeter attaches to your LCD, CRT, or laptop screen (the hardware is designed to be very gentle on delicate LCD screens), and then connects to your computer via USB cable. New state-of-the-art optical science provides a five-fold increase in color sensitivity over previous technology with a patent-protected light baffle for accurate characterization of LCD displays.
With the colorimeter affixed to the screen, the Spyder2 Professional Monitor Calibration Software guides you through the entire calibration process. With the colorimeter reading the color output from the software via the display screen, you will be instructed how to fine-tune the calibration buttons on your display. spyder2pro even allows you to calibrate multiple monitors, so you can have side-by-side displays of different brands and sizes that show the exact same colors. Once the calibration is complete, the unique 'before and after' viewing feature lets you compare your display with and without calibration.
spyder2pro also address the issue of ambient light. Since the eye's perception of a monitor's colors and brightness can vary greatly in different room light, the Ambient PreciseLight Function measures ambient light and balances studio lighting and monitor settings accordingly.
High-test features for the professional include custom response targeting, colorimeter and information windows, custom targeting, and ICC 2.0 and 4.0 support. Exclusive automated black-and-white luminance adjustments for use in precision targeting provide more consistent calibration results. Sophisticated gray balance and tonal response algorithms provide demanding users with exceptionally smooth gradient steps and neutral grays.
If you use a front projector for presentations, the new front projector calibration option ensures that your images are shown to their best advantage.
PrintFIX PLUS Printer Profiling Software
If you print your digital images, you probably know that getting good color performance in your prints can be at least as daunting as matching colors on computer monitors. The PrintFIX PLUS Printer Profiling Software addresses this issue with the first software-only profiling tool to give you fast, precise results. Rather than using a scanner, the elegant software assists you step-by-step through each custom paper profile for PrintFIX PLUS-compatible printers.
The software wizard helps you check your print quality and optimize your printer's media setting. Using the wizard helps you create high-bit, tunable ICC printer profiles. You can preview your results at different rendering intents, and there are even options to optimize your prints for specific viewing conditions.
The PrintFIX PLUS software includes a complete Help system and tutorials to assist you with the basic and advanced advice on how to get great prints.
An essential product for serious photographers and design professionals
Color correction has emerged as a cornerstone of the digital workflow for all digital imaging professionals. Professional photographers and creative professionals understand that a color-managed workflow begins with accurate, on-screen color. When precise color is critical, spyder2pro can be an important foundation in creating, marketing, and showing your work.
ColorVision backs the spyder2pro with a 2 year hardware warranty and includes free technical support and free software updates.

Rating: - Great Monitor Calibration, ok printer calibration
I bought this product because it has the best value: a lower cost compared to its competitors, and ability on calibrate monitors and printers.
Setup is easy, takes about 10 mins, and gives multiple options for standards to calibrate against, such as sRGB. Measures gamma, color temp, and blk & wht luminances, and has ability to make ICC profiles (maybe edit too?)
Printer unit works by calibration against known setting from paper type and ink. No spectrophotometer unit ... Read More
Rating:  - Great monitor calibrator
This is a great tool to insure that the edits you make on digital photographs produce the results you want in final prints.Intuitive to use, quick calibration, and useful reminders for periodic re-calibrations make this product a no-brainer for digital photographers.
Rating: - Dual Monitor Use For Video Editing
I've been using Spyder 2PRO for several months to edit video on a Mac Book Pro 17' with a secondary monitor, switching between several different types of monitors including LCD and NTSC.During startup, the Mac determines which monitor is connected and applies the appropriate profile.After getting the hang of the software, matching monitor calibration was achieved and the relevant data stored with each monitor's profile.The only drawback has been the lack of Mac Book Pro's individual brightness ...

Rating: - Does the job, but....
As a professional photographer, I rely on my images for my income. That's why after purchasing another monitor, I calibrated it with SpyderPro 2.
It works as advertised. But be aware, this is not a 'point and click and done' operation. It took nearly 4 hours to calibrate my monitor. I have a very fast Mac dual core, so don't go there. The time is in the details. The Spyder takes measurements, for different colors, has you adjust them, then tries again. I found very small adjustment make big differences ... Read More

I specifically purchased Spyder2Pro to calibrate my MacBook Pro 17" toa new Dell Ultrasharp 2407WFP. After many failed attempts to get the Dell to look closer to my MBP display with its built-in Dell monitor controls, I turned to Spyder2Pro because I mirror the display. I ran it a few times with different settings, but I honestly have not found the right profile yet.It certainly looks better than it did before but some colors are just not right and that bothers me. My problems are blues look too purple, tans ... Read More
