Default Monitor / Printer Profiling

I'm about to bite the bullet and do some profiling. I profiled our
cameras some months back, and assorted software keeps pointing out to me
that it would be a good thing to profile my monitors. I'd also like to do
my printer and scanner at the same time, for the 2-3 times per year that
they actually get used for something color-sensitive.

So: when I did the cameras, I used XRite's ColorChecker Camera
Calibration software and color target, and the process seemed relatively
straightforward. So my first thought was to use their hardware. To get
the printer calibration, I would have to use i1 Studio[1], which is a
fair chunk of change, but it gets good reviews and has recently come down
in price.

But while I was looking around for the i1 Studio, I also noted that
Datacolor's SpyderX Studio[2], while nominally a bit more expensive, is
currently running on sale (US$300 at one shop).

Has anyone used either one of these products? What's your experience?

For What It's Worth, I'm on Windows.

start with profiling your display and use the provided printer
profiles, especially for infrequent use.

if you really want to profile the printer, which is specific to a what
paper and ink you're using, then consider using a service, which is a
*lot* less expensive than buying your own equipment to be used once or
twice.
