If you are doing prints you will need printfix as well to profile your printer. I think Spyder Pro2 and Printfix are bundled together on some sites

This only applies though if you are printing at home right?

Am I right in thinking that if I get my prints done at a lab all I should need is the Spyder?

in a word YES........ but if you have a very old monitor there will not be much of a visual change

big pix PS: I do print at home and it helps if you use the correct printer dirvers for your printer and paper profiles. Espon profiles work for me but I also have an espon printer and only use espon inks.

cheers
