Software creates RGB ICC profiles for consistent, accurate prints. .
Easily Calibrate Printer and Display
With SpyderPRINT you can have full control of your printer output by creating any number of custom profiles to ICC standards*. Simply install the software, print your choice of targets with your printer, and use the SpyderGuide device to calibrate and build a profile.
After calibration, images can be viewed and edited with confidence. You will see less waste in your printed output and fewer unused prints. Images can be reliably assessed and adjusted, giving you true-to-life reproduction.
Custom Profiles in Minutes
Working with profiling speed and accuracy, SpyderPRINT's spectrocolorimeter gives you custom profiles with EZ targets for color and black and white.
The SpyderProof function gives you a series of images to review so you can evaluate each detail from a photographer's point of view and compare it with your own images. This feature serves as a soft-proofing tool for each printer profile you create.
Software Includes Extensive Editing Functions
The color and black-and-white tinting curves in the image editor software allow you to apply adjustments to a profile rather than to each individual image. The extended grays target adds precision gray and near gray data to profiles, enhancing the quality of tinted and black-and-white prints.
Flexible target options and high-patch profiling targets allow you to produce gallery quality prints in color or black and white. Select preset profile settings to produce profiles with specific combinations of highlight and shadow tint, detail, and neutrality settings.

1.0 out of 5 stars Usability issues, buggy software, creates totally inaccurate printer/paper profiles
I had high expectations of this device given the price, and because I also own the Spyder5 PRO from Datacolor, which despite having a glitchy room-light switching feature, has always worked perfectly for calibrating my screens. So, you could say I trusted the Datacolor brand. Unfortunately, this SpyderPRINT product is garbage.Issues I experienced:1) The software was buggy on my Mac. Until I changed permissions on my ~/Library/ColorSync/Profiles folder, it would let me get all the way through the patch reading process, and then refuse to save the profile. However, the error message given was that the name I was trying to use to save was not allowed. It took me 30 minutes of research online to figure out that the problem was nothing to do with the naming of the profile.2) The hardware itself doesn't work very well. The unit doesn't seem to self-calibrate reliably, and will frequently set the wrong white point from the white patch in the cradle, which messes up the entire process. Additionally, the scanner doesn't fit very well in the plastic guide rail, and it's very easy for it to dislodge from the rail while scanning patches. Finally, the cable is so stiff that keeping the unit flat and level requires constant vigilance while scanning - if you loosen your grip the unit will want to pull away from the paper surface.3) The two issues above could be forgiven if it wasn't for this one: my unit generated totally inaccurate profiles from the targets I printed out. I profiled two different Hahnemuhle Fine Art papers on my Canon PIXMA Pro-10. These papers were fresh out of the box, the inks were factory OEM, the room lights were 5000K high CRI - heck, I even handled the paper with cotton gloves and allowed a 30-minute drying time! Furthermore, I correctly disabled Color Matching while printing the patches, and set the correct media type ("Other Fine Art Paper 1"). The targets seemed to print fine, but when I went to scan them the patches did not seem to match the expected colors very well. It wasn't until I went to print with the profile that I saw a marked reddish color shift that looked significantly different from the soft-proof. The printing was done from Photoshop, using the same media type, of an image edited on my calibrated EIZO display, with the correct profile selected and making sure Photoshop was managing colors instead of the printer. This clear mismatch suggests that the profile I created was quite inaccurate. To confirm my suspicion, I downloaded a Hahnemuhle-supplied generic ICC profile for my printer and paper type (which isn't custom to my specific printer unit) and the colors came out *WAY* closer to my screen than what printed using the SpyderPRINT profile. Upon pulling up the SpyderPRINT profile in ColorSync and comparing it to the manufacturer profile, they are really different - the difference is much greater than you would expect for a custom vs. generic printer/paper profile (see attached screenshot).A final annoyance with using this unit - in addition to the crap profiles it creates - is that it wants to print 8.5"x11" size targets, but it doesn't take into account that most Canon printers insist on a 30mm border for fine art papers. This meant I had to scale the printed target, dismiss the complaints from the software, and scan patches individually (which is supposed to be more accurate, but didn't seem to be, and took 3x as long).Bottom line: the SpyderPRINT is a waste of money, and doesn't work well at all.
4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad AT ALL. Better for me than the $2K X-Rite software I spent.
Ok, so I have the $2K i1 Pro2 and I got this as I wanted to compare them.I am NOT going into deep details, but I can say that this hands down does a great job of making your prints MUCH better with fine tuning the colors and tones. I used the Expert patchs of about 750 and with Gray tones, and I used the Click method of EACH patch of color. This took some time and patients, BUT, it is the right way to go. The other method is LAME, and dont EVEN think about printing on a large sheet with more patches. WASTE of time. Print on a 8.5x11 or something so that cheap plastic paper guide that is included can actually help. This is where the i1 X-Rite is far superior, but SURELY not worth the $ extra for personal use.So do the readings patch at a time, and you will be sure you got a good reading. My BW prints using color inks is not nutral and with excellent tone. Also colors are much better, rich and good separation.Very much worth $350 if you want to make higher quality prints. Would the X-Rite do better, not significant enough. The only time the X-rite makes sense is if you do this as a business with AMNY papers and are often making custom profiles. But if you have 3-5 fav papers, you certainly do not need to spend $2k... SHAME on X-Rite for the rip off I purchased. Sellers hype:" Oh, no this is the only great one that will do the job, others come close, but not as good". REALLY? you take a look at the prints? AND, this allows for tweaking and making adjustments, so if there is some image with hard tomes the printer is challenged on, you can make the call to tweak further manually.I am a photographer, print professional. I use LUT calibrated monitors using the Xrite as well. but my volume in print is low. For most folks who like to print seriously and are pros, you dont need Xrite. This is likely more accurate than Colormunki, and is suitable for such personal or client prints.
5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect.
The ultimate in print calibration. If youβre serious about matching screen and print output calibration is essential This is not the easiest to use that Iβve tried but itβs by far the most accurate.
1.0 out of 5 stars Device failed after 14 months of use, tech support was no help
Used the device for about a year on an off with no issues. Worked well. Results were good. Then one day the device stopped working. Nothing - -nada -zilch. Got in touch with customer support and their response was to basically try unplugging and re-plugging. If you do buy this, buy the insurance and demand a full replacement when the thing fails. Very disappointing. Will never buy a product from this company again.
4.0 out of 5 stars works fine
I use 3rd party ink from Precision Colors. After awhile I think the syringe got slightly contaminated when refilling so there was a slight color shift from the OEM ink profiles. Corrects it after profiling.only flaw was the measuring head had a slight dent when it arrived. QC might be a problem
