FYI - If you need multiple monitor support, you need the Pro version. However, this is an excellent deal.

I've never used the Huey but assuming it can generate standard color profiles XP users can use the color control panel applet to do multi-monitor:

Just remember that associating the profiles is not sufficient, you have to load them using wincolor.exe /L (I think that's the command, been a while since I've used it...). You can create a simple startup shortcut to do it on boot.

At my workplace we have a 3rd party artist to do our artwork label and such. She once emailed us a product lable with Pantone 267 (or something like that) and it looked NOTHING like the pantone color guide book we have. Since none of our monitors are caliberated, it's kinda pointless to do so, imo.

The primary point of the Pantone Color Matching System is to provide a totally objective method for reproducing color in print.

Looking at something on screen was to convey the layout and look - and referring to a Pantone color, let you know exactly what the color will be (by referencing your book). It's the only way to go since it's highly impractical to try to keep every monitor something will be viewed on properly calibrated.

Using this device would give you a far closer (but still not perfect) look, on screen, at what the color would be, since it's also not always practical to have a swatch book.

Shame I missed out. This is one woot I'd have gone for 🙂

This was an incredibly good price for a colorimeter.
