I must not have made myself clear. The Monaco kit's major ingredient is a
colorimeter to profile the monitor. I've already done that part. It was quick
and easy but I saw no obvious difference between images displayed before and
after the profiling. Of course, the monitor came with an ICC profile when it
was new so I suppose all I was doing was correcting drift since new.
I still have to do the scanner/printer/paper part so I don't know how well that
works yet.
