I have one. It?s VERY fast. It can be a bit flakey accepting a target but I can?t say any more than other auto Spectrophotometers. The way you switch the UV is a bit goofy and the fit and finish isn?t that impressive for the cost of the unit. Feels like a $99 Epson printer! But it is very fast! Along with Monaco PROFILER it builds very good profiles. It?s kind of cool that the ECI2002 target is unscrambled. I?d be a bit more impressed if the price were lower or the build quality a lot better. My iCColor has much better fit and finish.

We have one, also.
I haven't used it myself, our color guy has, and he seems to like it. We've only had it for about two weeks.
Nice that it reads larger sheets instead of the numerous thin strips, too.

We just redid our HP profiles, we read 25 ECI targets with no problems.

The tech that showed up to set up our EFI rip had one. He liked it and had good things to say about it. Not the most expensive machine out there, but a good balance for the money. All this guy does is color consulting so you know it's getting a work out.
