Datacolor, the real global leader in color management solutions, has just announced today that it will begin shipping its new Spyder3Print SR (Strip Reader) spectrocolorimeter as a separate product skew so as to provide support for photographers and graphic artists that are currently using the company's Spyder3Elite and Spyder3Pro monitor calibration systems.

"Datacolor's Spyder3Print SR provides photographers with the most advanced ICC printer profile technology for producing outstanding color and black-and-white prints the first time around," says Christoph Gamper, vice president, Consumer Business Unit, Datacolor.

First, the Spyder3Print SR was introduced as part of Datacolor's innovative Spyder3Studio SR system, which provided customers with an end-to-end calibration solution for image capture, digital desktop image manipulation, and of course print output.

"The option to purchase it as a standalone product gives photographers and printers the flexibility to improve their overall calibration system without the expense of purchasing an entire kit or an expensive all-in-one calibration system. The Spyder3Print SR was designed to do one thing and does it extremely well," Gamper added.

Spyder3Print SR is an innovative spectrocolorimeter that embeds significant enhancements in the ICC printer profile technology, as well as a new software algorithm, in order to ensure fast, easy and accurate measurements for outstanding color and black-and-white prints. No matter the user level of expertise, ICC profiles will be now easy and quickly created, in minutes, using Datacolor's Strip-Reading Spectrocolorimeter and SpyderGuide.

Best thing about this is that it will render better results no matter the ink, paper and printers used, therefore making for an ideal solution for all kinds of users, from amateur to professional. Already available, the new Spyder3Print SR has a suggested list price of $339.00.
