Today's Question: In yesterday's answer you suggested monitor calibration using a colorimeter. Can you recommend a good product for performing this task?
Tim's Answer: There are a wide variety of solutions for monitor calibration and profiling, and generally speaking they will all provide good results. I do, of course, have my personal favorites.
I've been a longtime fan of the i1 Display product, with the latest iteration being the i1 Display 2. This product is available from X-Rite (originally created by GretagMacbeth, but the two companies merged some years ago).
Another product I like a lot is the ColorMonki, which is also from X-Rite. The benefit of the ColorMonki is that it provides you with a complete color management solution in one package. If you would like to be able to produce your own custom printer profiles the ColorMonki is worth a serious look.
The PANTONE huey package is also very good, and is probably one of the lowest priced solutions that I would recommend.
There are, of course, other solutions, and most of them will more than meet your needs. But the above products are the ones I recommend most for monitor calibration and profiling.
