Hi Peter, I was lucky, as a benevolent web master
gave me my Spyder2Pro. Esssentially though they calibrate your monitor through a wizard and some small input from you. A screen/monitor profile is created and every time you switch on your machine this profile is accessed and your screen corrected. You can literally see it happen during boot up. This allows you to adjust your images as correctly as possible. I find the biggest advantage is having Brightness and contrast correct, as there are many people who have it set wrong and over adjust their images to compensate.
As for the printer, it doesn't actually adjust the settings on this. However when printing with Photoshop or other program that can use a profile, if you set it so that
Photoshop determines Colour in the print set up and not
Let Printer determine Colour. Then choose the printer profile for your machine or paper you use, the colours are going to appear as near as possible how you see them on the screen.
. You should have seen the looks I got when I said what I was after. I do not think even Jessops have it in stock over here as its only a small shop.
