Datacolor Spyder Print Studio Kit, 2024 Version - SpyderPro Monitor Calibration Tool, Spyder Print and Spyder Cube - Colour Management Toolkit for Photographers

Having previously used the SpyderPro with success, I decided to upgrade to the Datacolor Spyder Print Studio kit to meet the demands of my expanding projects and collaborative workflow. This comprehensive kit has proven to be an invaluable asset, providing precise color calibration for not only monitors but also printers and photos. The Spyder Print Studio offers a complete color management solution, ensuring accurate and consistent color representation throughout our entire workflow. The kit includes the Spyder Cube for setting white balance and RAW conversion, the SpyderPro for calibrating monitors, and the Spyder Print for creating custom printer profiles. The software is user-friendly and guides you through the calibration process with clear on-screen instructions. The ability to create multiple custom profiles for various printers, inks, and papers ensures that our prints accurately match what we see on our calibrated monitors. For professionals seeking a comprehensive and reliable color management solution, the Datacolor Spyder Print Studio kit is an excellent investment. It offers a cost-effective way to achieve accurate color across all devices and ensure consistent, high-quality results. I highly recommend it to any studio or individual looking to take their color management to the next level.

C'est simple, c'est le kit ultime pour s'assurer du bon calibrage colorimétrique d'un workflow de la prise de vue jusqu'à l'impression. C'est complet niveau hardware et software, pro et facile d'utilisation. Je l'ai testé dans un cadre "amateur" niveau matériel avec mes propres moyens hors studio. • Pour commencer, on a le Spyder Cube recouvert d'une grey et white card projetées sur lui avec une petite bille chromée sur le dessus pour le repère des highlights qui permet lors du shooting de bien faire sa balance des blancs et même ajuster une première fois l'exposition sans le sujet. • Ensuite, on a la sonde de référence Spyder Pro pour l'étalonnage des écrans, avec un logiciel simple et fiable qui permet de réussir l'étalonnage à coup sûr, j'en utilisais déjà une pour mes besoins pro. • Puis la sonde Spyder Print pour laquelle c'était ma première utilisation et qui permet à travers diverses étapes de réaliser un ou des profils sur mesure pour maîtriser au mieux les couleurs en sortie selon votre imprimante (je n'ai pas eu accès à une grosse imprimante photo pro type Canon Prograph pour tester dessus néanmoins.) Le kit n'est pas donné, mais il est fiable et pensé pour un pipeline professionnel et je ne lui connais aucune alternative.

This print studio kit has completely changed our product photography and has reduced the amount of time spent trying to get the right colour tones and vibrancy. Not only in colour though, some of the black and white images you can see the difference in quality. The fact that it calibrates it with the printer and we can set specific profiles to use with each paper type also saves time. The system took a while to set up as we haven't used one before, so just getting the calibration correct and learning how to use the kit to it's best does take some time if you aren't experienced with it. This is a pro kit and if you do any professional photography at all then you will really appreciate the improvements it offers.

As a photographer, color calibration for my monitors is of utmost importance. These datacolor devices have never let me down. This is no exception. They are very easy to use and the price is good when compared to getting poor prints because your monitors are not accurately calibrated. Being able to calibrate for your own printer is a new thing for me. I have always had a lab do prints for me. I now have a photo printer and was having difficulty getting the right color profile for it. Now, the color of my prints matches my monitor and my lab. So wherever I choose to print from, I know the color will look the same. This is a must have device for all photographers in the digital world. It is one of the first things I tell new photographers that I am mentoring to buy. The SpyderPro is an amazingly easy tool to use. I highly recommend it to all photographers!

I have been using the Spyder 5 for many years and now was the time to upgrade. The Spyder Print Studio Pro Kit updates the hardware and software of the display sensor and includes a sensor for accurately sampling printer output. With both your display and printer outputting predictable, accurate color you can be assured of the most accurate color and black & white prints possible. Prints with more detail, saturation and highlights. It will also calibrate dual monitor setups and remote laptops and desktops at other locations With the printer sensor you can create your own printer profiles specific to the paper you use and rest assured that the prints will accurately reflect your display and the adjustments you make. In addition the kit includes the Spyder Cube that is more accurate and versatile than a traditional grey card. Including it in your photograph, you can accurately balance color later in processing. This is everything you need to “close the loop” in color accuracy. It is easy to set up and use and will visibly improve your production.
