Thinking of color calibrating my monitor and getting the spyder pro5 anyone out there using this and how well does it work. I do like to do my own prints and have a Cannon pro printer.

I've used the Spyder 4 for several years and find it excellent. Accurate & easy to use... a Winner.

I upgraded to Spyder5 from Spyder4 and I'm pleased with the results. The software that comes with it is a snap to use if you let it calibrate in auto mode. It also has advanced options that let you go crazy.

I have and use a spyder pro5. You should have no problems with it.

I've used the Spyder calibrating tool for over 10 years. The latest being the Spyder Pro 4. I'd go to the 5 if I saw a need. Use is easy, quick, and very accurate.

I, like jimg, have used the Spyder products for a long time. I think you'll see positive results if you try them.

Behind the 8 ball here, only use Spyder, but it works great

Even the lower priced Spyder4Express does a great job...just not the backup documentation and multiple monitor capability.
