There has been quite a lot of discussions on this forum:

Quite a few participants there have critizised the Spyders; one complaint is that once calibrated, the monitors are no longer neutral when viewing black and white work, and that Colorvision (the manufacturer) says this is unavoidable, but "unimportant". For me, it was the thing that finally stopped me from ordering one, I consider it *extremely* important.... Now I have a printer that gives good B/W output, and a monitor that allows me to see what I get, and I´ll be damned if I pay money for something that risks upsetting that!

When working digital, is it absolutely necessary to use a device such as a Spyder to profile your monitor or is that level of precision more of a printing house requirement. I know we want the best possible output but is it possible to calibrate everything by eye or are you just wasting your time and fooling yourself?
