Nightmare so I bought a Spyder 3 Elite which also monitors background light. The difference is striking and a test print of a grey subject came out absolutely spot on for both colour and brightness on my Canon IP 6700D printer using Canon paper to reduce variables. Bliss and relief. Hope that helps. Windows XP by the way.
I have decided to go ahead and get the Spider 3 Pro. I don't think I will use some of the features that is with the elite, if I find in the future I do need them there is an option to upgrade.
