I was just wondering if anyone can recommend a really good monitor calibration system, that is also affordable. This is something Id really like to get but cant really afford, but I could probably swing it if I found one that was the right price.

It would be great if it could work on a printer to. :)

I use the Huey, that I have upgraded to the Pro. Many have had color cast problems with them. But I have had zero problems with it. They are about $80 for the Huey. A bit more for the pro. I would suggest it, even with its checkered past of possible color casts, if you want to stay on a budget..

My Huey works wonderfully

Consistent from screen to print, can't ask for much more

Spyder3 Express is a winner at around $90. Getting into printer profiling is a major step upward (two steps, actually) and is getting into bigger bucks.

I am not sure as to your definition of affordable, but I quite like my Spyder3.
