Anyone have a SPYDER or equivalent monitor calibration tool that I could use TWICE (once on my laptop and one on my desktop)?

I made another print of a photo, and the yellows were a bit off.

In comparison to trying to dial it in manually (basically shooting in the dark) I'd much rather get it in config ONCE (until I can afford for the equipment myself).

Help me out TST!

I'll take to lunch, throw some money at, whatever! I need this resolved ASAP!

how are you printing it? every element of the system has to be calibrated in order for any of it to be worthwhile.
i have a pantone eye one display 2 that you can borrow if you leave me a deposit or something...

I am printing through a Sony PictBridge photo printer.

Only does photos...I can't think of the model number right now.

I got the monitor DAMN close, but I might take you up on that offer soon Bryan.

there are some calibration systems that will do a monitor and printer both... that would be ideal, but mine doesnt do that. you can still borrow mine to try to get your monitor set up if you want, but it wont be set up properly for your printer though.

I think I'm gonna take you up on that.

Free sometime NEXT weekend/week to meet up?

Also have a question about the TST stickers and things...PM-ed about that.
