It was ProfileMaker Pro plus Eye One Pro. Not sure what the hardware costs but the software is £2-3k

ProfileMaker Pro software is a few thousand dollars (its what I use). The EyeOne Pro by itself is about $1000 with easier to use, less sophisticated but very good software (EyeOne Match).

Andrew's point is dead on. I've tried some of ColorVision (and other) "eye based" setups.. Never really got good uniform results at all. Personal color decisions are too subjective to apply to a totally numerically based digital color system architectures. Andrew points out in his book.. we're setting up LUT's Look Up Tables.. colums of very precise numbers. The true spectro also takes into account more viewing variables than visual examination can.. more precisely, too. I've just giotten the Eye-1 Photo SG (believe that's correct name). Just about to set it up.. have a feeling it will prove to be the wisest $1500 I've ever spent since I started hemorraging money 6 years ago.
