I agree I will have to calibrate as many as 60 monitors. If I use the manual method I will have 60 variation on the calibration. Do any of the other option mentioned about allow me to export a profile for other monitors or even printer profiles?

We have a calibrated Epson plotter for proofs. I take Adobe's stock color image "Olé no Moiré" and print her out on the Epson. I then open her up in Photoshop and let her sit in the background as I run through an advanced monitor calibration using system preferences. Using my eye I can get the image on my monitor to come real close to matching the proof, which matches the press. Great results, no extra money!
No offence, but if you have to calibrate more than one monitor this way, chances are color won't be consistent from one monitor to another.
