The upshot is that I have an extra very nice USB Chroma4 Color Sensor monitor calibrator by Sequel Imaging. It is in excellent condition, and I will provide the current USB drivers from Sequel. I know it works great with the Colorblind software- the programs I got run about $190 if downloaded and include a scanner target, but it should work with just about any CMS software out there- I know it works with the MonacoEZ system too. I am asking just what I paid for it- $45 plus USPS priority mail postage. I got Colorblind's "ProveIt!" and "Colormatic software" which I would recommend to anyone other than professionals who want/need to spend several K$ on software. It's relatively cheap, and works well for me, and I was a complete boob about color management last week!- I calibrated everything, got my monitor, scanner and Epson 1200 profiles, and when I printed the test file of Kodak's Shirley, was surprised at how well the system works! I got really brave, and bought Media Street's Niagara II with the Generations ink, made a new profile for the printer using the new ink and my trusty Epson Heavyweight Matte paper, and was pleasantly surprised that the results were very good, again without any tweaking (a process I am starting to read up on!).
