is it any good Tim?
Price is Incredibly low so i wonder if you getting what you paid for or is it excellent piece of kit for great price?

We paid more for our kit a few years ago, which included an additional sensor for measuring monitors, and was a higher edition, with case for all the kit to go in.
Does around the same amount of target colours as yours (it's a few less, but not many - can't remember the numbers)
Does a good job for our work - using it for ICCs for sublimation products (hard/glossy things, as well as fabrics) as well as a few different papers for pigment inks.
One of the best things we ever bought - definitely worked out cheaper than us having to get you to do all the profiles we wanted, and meant we weren't waiting for the postman etc - I like the independence of being able to do things ourselves.

I would be lost without a way to profile. Screen gets done weekly, normally do an image specific profile monthly, or if an image is very intensive in one colour.
It's the screen aspect that is really most useful. The weekly profile means the drift is so minimal I can't see the changes. If somebody pops in and I do their laptop the standard response is "wow" .
In essence anybody working with photo's needs a means to profile.

Caveat I use a colormunki.
