I print a lot of my photos of 10x15cm, A4, A3 poster / canvas etc. Here I have often noticed the strong color and brightness differences exist. Although a unique calibrate using an instrument of a friend helped, but the joy was not very long: After about 3Monaten it started from the front and was getting worse because obviously slowly lost the monitor brightness performance. Approximately 10days before ordering the Spyder4Elite I got myself nochden BenQ XL2720Z who has keys 3Profil quickly because I'm just like that on the PC and not only do print photos, this is the perfect combination.
Packaging and shipping: as always, was very very fast. All wrapped bubble seal that nothing gets broken.
For Spyder4Elite: I have the differences between Elite, Pro and Express looked and noticed that there are a bunch of differences between all 3Versionen exactly. The Pro actually enough for the hobby, but the offer was just too tempting. The software is clear and simple design, it is carried out step by step. The variety of settings are not bad, and thanks to my monitor, I can also switch between calibrated and "Normal". The ambient light sensor is only from the Pro version in it, show me how I should "adjust" for printing the light. This makes sense only if the ambient light adjusts how it's always when you make images for printing.
Conclusion: Actually enough the Pro version, but I have already tried out several functions of the Elite version, which are more than promising. Who has to get a Spyder4Elite offer the chance: Get him! The price / performance ratio is the hammer and saves a lot of unnecessary ink and paper.
