Hi all am after a good calibrator that will do both a LED Imac and a printer.

Will spyder3 elite do this or is colourmonki a much better option.

Really want my prints from home to match what I see on screen.

Cheers All
 
I use the Spyder 3 and it is fine with my Epson Printer.
I use Photoshop and in the Print Dialogue, Colour Handling box click Photoshop Manages Colour then have no colour management in the printer ( in the epson I tick the ICM box in the colour control box ) it will be as near as damn it what you see on the screen.
Printer Profile I use Adobe RGB (1998).
Profiles for printing is a mine field but for test printing at home on small amounts this works great for me.
 
the general consensus is that the colourmunki is the better choice me thinks
 
Go for the ColorMunki if you can afford it. It will calibrate and profile your monitor and generate good printer profiles all in one package
