Which calibration device

[sla453]

I'm in the market for a new screen calibrator - given the choice of either Datacolor SpyderX Elite or X-Rite i1, would you suggest 1 over the other..??

My old Spyder 4 not now supported in Mac OS Catalina.... :(

Both are great devices, but since the Spyder X range is newer, that's the one I'd go for.

Roger that..

Did you get one, @sla453?

Haha - I have a Teds voucher to cash in for a new calibration device - they don't have SpyderX listed on the online store - so I am (patiently - not so patiently) waiting for stores to open again so they can order one in for me...!!  

Do I assume I will have to print new test prints..???

You assume incorrectly.  Any prints you already have are absolutely fine, as long as they're from your usual pro lab.

Ah - cool...  When I eventually get my new equipment..!
