It should be noted that “the tools do not make the man, but rather, the man makes the tools.”  In a recent visit to Los Angeles, a colormunki spectro device that sells for $400 easily bested a Minolta CS-200 spectro device that sells for $13,000.  The difference was the skill set of the two calibrators involved.  The calibrator with the Minolta was either lacking in his skill set or just lazy on this calibration job.  It was not hard to make improvements even with just normal calibration test discs.
