The standard pantone huey colour collaboration thingy looks a bit simplistic... but the pro version ( Color Control - huey™PRO ) looks the business. Any one got one? If so does it work well?

Old thread, I know, but I received mine yesterday. 10 mins setup from unpacking to 'back to work'. Have to say, so far it has rectified what I thought was good enough calibration. First thing I noticed was a logo with 20% Cyan and 100%K that looked fine pre-Huey, but post-Huey I was able to see a bluish tint to it. I was using that combo to get a bit of a richer black. I changed it to CMY 40% K100% now and it looks the deep black that I wanted before.

For the money, it's an easy decision. Fair enough, my company paid for mine. Such a warm nerdish feeling to receive a Pantone box in the post LOL

yup. this old.

i got a huey pro in the end.. does a bloody good job on my fancy new monitor.

.sleep · 30-01-2008, 17:50

are they one monitor per? i'd think about it if i can use it on my laptop and my old ass crt.

Do Gooder · 30-01-2008, 17:56

use it on as many as you like. i think the pro version supports both crt and lcd... where as the standard fella might only do lcd

you just plug in and go - very simple. i did the computers in work in under an hour - including sorting the profiles in CS2 and 3.

you can keep the huey plugged in and it adjusts brightness of the screen to match the ambient light.. but that's by no means crucial.

ah sweet. might have to pick one up. maybe i'll splurge and get a set of pantone books i've been lagging on getting.

Do Gooder · 30-01-2008, 18:10

grand. do update the monitor profiles in design software etc. to the huey file... things where very strange until i remembered to do that!

Pantone are doing a deal on the Pantone Bridge colour book with a Huey (but not the Pro).
