My objective if to improve the quality and consistency of my print making. I guess I am the paying the penalty for being a cheapskate. I find Gamutvision notonly buggy, but deeply flawed in some modes. I wish I had paid the extra bucks and purchased Color Think instead of the Gamutvision I am using.

Goes on to say you will be hard pressed to be able to discern the differences between the CM and X-Rite's more expensive professional models. On another site Andrew Rodney, who literally wrote the book on colour management decrribes the colormunki as surprisingly good fofr its 50+50 patches. BAsic problem many read error and non linear "warmish" colour cast that I could not eliminate.Ībout four years ago bought the Colormunki, and from the get go got usable and consistent profiles. Their final resolution was to declare I was not following their instructions properly and wash their hands of my problems. I was never able to get a satisfactory printer profile even after a couple of months of help front their technical support. My experience with Spyder print mirrors yours. So I print the targets using the Adobe Color Printer Utility. PS: I find that when I use SpyderPrint application to print targets, I find that in the printer dialog, the printer is selected for managing color instead of being greyed out. So what do you guys think about all of this? Anyone having the same problems with SpyderPrint?

Otherwise, I will end up using Colormunki for my profiles. But perhaps after I put in the effort using targets with a large quantity of patches, I will end up with a profile that has a gamut equivalent to the Colormunki Photo, and is noticeable more accurate.

How do I correct this problem? Read more patches using their "expert" 729 patch targets?īasically I am finding out using the SpyderPrint product a PITA to use.

However, even though the profile ends up being a bit more accurate than the profile created by Colormunki Photo, the gamut space is noticeably *smaller* with the SpyderPrint. I then end up with a fairly accurate profile this way using the 225 patch target. But once the white point is properly set, I then usually make just one or two *minor* adjustments in their editor. But I find using Lab colorspace for this is a bit of a "trial and error" at times. I find in order to get a good profile, I have to use their profile editor to reset the white point. So the white point is off much of the time. I found the problem was that the colorimeter does not calibrate itself reliably. Sometimes I get good profiles from SpyderPrint, and sometimes I do not. The second problem is calibrating the colorimeter accurately. But I find reading the targets patch by patch in this way provides the most accurate results. I found a technique that produces the best results, even though I still may need to reread some patches. One problem with this product is reading the color patches reliably.

#SPYDER 3 PRO TROUBLESHOOTING MAC#
I am using a Mac that is running Yosemite. My focus here is the SpyderPrint product. I compared them in just two ways: gamut and color accuracy to a specified color list. It is a bit buggy and idiosyncratic, but it works. In order to do this, I have purchased ColorThink Pro. I have both Colormunki Photo and SpyderPrint.
