My digital darkroom includes the following:
Epson V700 (I scan 35mm negatives and 4x5. Mostly black and white)
Epson 9500 MK2 (i print digital, but now i've started to print film scans too. The epson v700 is brand spanking new)
Desktop plus 32inch LCD monitor (I use a LCD TV as my computer monitor)
I'm thinking about calibrating all my equipment. But I'm not quite sure where to start. My research has lead me two options; spyder 3 or eye1. They both seem good products. But i have many questions.
- do i need to calibrate each and every piece of equipment? or just the monitor? (i.e. Huey)
- the spyder 3 with printer calibration is so much more expensive than the eye1. Is it worth it? (although I do like the spyder cube. But I dont' think it'll do much outside of photoshop).
- What is your recommendation?
