Must have, if you are serious about great prints
It's 0 to 100 when it comes to quality of prints. It could be challenging to come to terms with the fact that some tweaking still needs to be done after getting the profile, but once you get a hang of it, it's great. Was comparing my earlier prints to the ones printed now, it's totally different. Please invest in this if you seriously don't want to waste paper and ink. The datacolor service guys are always ready to help

If you're serious about colour rendition then this sort of thing is essential.
Obviously a very specialist piece of equipment: for the majority of photographers, if the image looks ok on the screen and ok on paper, then it's OK!However, if you want to be sure that the colours are the best they can be or if you want to adjust things working from a known reference point or if it's important that what's on the paper is identical to what's on the screen, then some sort of calibration system is required.Calibrating the screen is fairly straightforward and it's easy to check before and after views. Identifying where to disable ICC profiles for your printer I found a little harder. A very steady hand is required to scan the test sheets and it certainly took me longer than suggested in the instruction book. Identifying where to install the created printer profile was also very confusing. I wonder if it might be possible to print the ICC profiles in play when running the test sheets?I've now used this device to callibrate several printers with varying degrees of success. Now I've watched several youtube videos for advice and my comments are as follows.It isn't as easy as they would like you to believe and they could improve the software to help novices to get to grips with it. It's not cheap and could be better.Had to de-rate to 3*. Too fiddly.

Datacolor Spyder5STUDIO - S5SSR100
I was expecting great results from this kit, but unfortunately it did not live up to its promise as a "one stop solution" to colour management , and I had to send it back.I bought it mainly for calibrating my printer with various third party papers and inksets, but the results were disappointing. I have since bought an X-Rite i1 Studio, and it works great.Having said that, the Spyder5 monitor calibrator worked well, and the SpyderCube could be a good addition to your kit, if you don't already have an alternative.

Good quality product.
Well made product which appears to work well but I've not used it a great deal yet. Only complains are the manual print scanner is a little difficult and time consuming to use and the complete kit is a bit pricey.

SpyderPrint nicht kompatibel zu Windows 10 64Bit
Leider geht das Paket zurück.Die Monitorkalibrierung ist okay, sowohl ein Desktop unter Win7 als auch ein Notebook mit Win10 wurden eingemessen.Die Druckkalibrierung ist ein Geduldsspiel. Auf dem Windows 7 Gerät habe ich einen uralten Farblaser eingemessen, die Handhabung ist schon grenzwertig. Dnach sollte ein Farbtintendrucker eingemessen werden, diesmal unter Windows 10. Es funktionniert nicht. Die Farbfelder werden nicht erkannt, die Kommunikation zwischen Druckcolorimeter und Programm bricht ab. Ich dachte erst es läge an Reflexionen, Raum verdunkelt, erneuter Druck auf mattem Fotopapier, selbst Normalpapier, alles das gleiche. 40-60% der Felder werden nicht erkannt, das Programm funktioniert und Windows 10 nicht mit der Hardware.Süffisant am Rande: Das Programm SpyderPrint kann nicht einmal im Splashscreen bei Programmstart deutsche Umlaute, der Treiber für den SpyderPrint Colorimeter ist von 2009, damals gab es noch kein Windows 10.Für jemanden wie mich, der einmal im Jahr eine Reihe Fotos macht, diese optimal abmischen und drucken will, ist der Kaufpreis fürs Hobby schon an der Grenze, aber dann erwarte ich, dass Hardware und Software funktionieren.Gerät geht zurück.
