Here you go. http://www.i1color.com/products/i1_photo.asp

Also, you need to shop this package - the price varies by several hundred.

More commonly known as red-green deficiency. Not enough to embarrass myself
when I dress, but still enough to leave a lingering anxiety while poking
around the color channel curves. It's not a total loss; I'm compensated by a
slightly finer sensitivity to tones. It occurs to me just now the obvious
thing to do is spend the profiler money on a B&W ink set. 12x16 "platinums"
sound just dandy. Except the wife wants vacation and holiday pictures,
which was the point of scrambling to tune the gear.

Ah. I think your local camera club idea is still the right way to go.
That, and take the vacation!

Thank you very much. I am not a great expert on the subject (the
understatement of the century ) however, should the monitor also have
certain features which would allow it to be calibrated with the help of
an Eye One? Would a particular brand of monitor be better than another
at calibrating with an Eye One? Any comments would be greatly
appreciated.

I'm personally partial to Mitsubishi and LaCie monitors, but I don't think
it makes *that* much difference. Regardless, if you want the ability to
calibrate accurately, and get more life out of your monitor, make sure to
get one that has separate color gun controls. And, unless you want to go to
the high end ($$$), you're better off sticking with a CRT, rather than a LCD
monitor for color and contrast matching. You can get a great 19" CRT
monitor with separate color gun controls for $225-350. I think MacWorld
runs monitor reviews regularly so you might want to take a look at their
web-site.

The Artisan is a beauty, but not worth the money unless you are a graphics
pro, or just have money to burn.

Thank you very much indeed. By separate colour gun controls do you mean
"colour adjust"?

It seems that every manufacturer uses different terminology. What you want
is a monitor that allows for *individual* adjustment of the three colors
(ie, R,G,and B), and that also allows for different color temperature
settings. Any LaCie will have this, as will most medium-upperend
Mitsubishis, Viewsonics, Illayamas, etc. Just make sure to ask.
