ColorVision Spyder3Studio Complete Color Management System redefines color management, offering you an impressive level of accuracy and control for the best performance across all of your digital imaging tools allowing you real-world colors you can rely on. Spyder3Studio combines the power of the Spyder3Elite Display Calibration System and the Spyder3Print Printer Calibration System for a complete color management system to ensure accurate and controllable color for all of your digital photography needs. Spyder3 is the only colorimeter available on the market offering a seven detector color engine, with an aperture several times larger than other devices, thereby increasing its light sensitivity by 400 percent for increased accuracy and performance. This ensures consistent color on all LCD, CRT, laptop and front projector displays. The updated form factor of the Spyder3 colorimeter includes an embedded ambient light detector and desktop cradle that doubles as a tripod mount. It also includes an easy-to-use, photo-centric user interface with features that photographers and creative professionals need. Designed for the way photographers work, the Spyder3Elite system is the next generation in calibration accuracy, precision and speed, allowing you to create profiles to your specifications and bring an unprecedented level of color control to your work. Spyder3Print is centered on the Datacolor 1005 Spectrocolorimeter and allows photographers to produce professional prints quickly, accurately and without expensive trial-and-error testing. Select any combination of printer, media and ink, then measure with the included Spectrocolorimeter, and let the Spyder3Print system create a custom ICC profile in just a few minutes. From start to finish, you'll get the results that professional studios rely on with the ease of use that everyone demands.

Spyder3Studio simplifies accurate color

"Using both the monitor calibrator (3Elite) and printer calibrator (3Print), prints are 99% dead on from monitor to output. I use this with a Dell 3007WXP 30" monitor (Dell Quad core with nVIDIA 9800card) and Canon PIXMA9500 printer. The prints show good color range and tonality. No color casts or tinting issues that I have discovered yet. Several new features are nice in this version. The monitor calibrator has..." Read Full Review »

Print matching is lacking

"My goal in getting this product was to be able to print pictures reliably without having to waste a lot of paper and ink. I've yet to achieve that with this product.

"I bought the Spyder 3 Studio because I am interested in getting into doing some fine art work and wanted to be able to do my own profiling for the high end papers.
