colormunki $50 rebate offer

A $50.00 mail-in rebate if I send them a copy of my receipt for the ColorMunki and the UPC from my Datacolor Spyder 2 Plus? Ouhh heck yeah that sounds like a deal. Now if only I knew where I could get some extra cash from.
Yeah know… I’m thinking I should be contacting X-Rite to see if I can get some sponsorship cash out of this.

So what exactly is Colormunki? Well to be exact it’s a product from the joint efforts of X-Rite and Pantone, the leaders in colour measurement and colour management. In essence Colormunki is a spectrophotometer, a tool that captures and measures colours from the world around us.

Not only does this cute, fits in the palm of your hand, unit calibrate your monitor(s) and printer(s) but it allows you to capture colours from any surface in the analog world and inputs those directly into your computer. These pallets of colours are then imported into Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign or Quark for use in any document you want. On top of all is the software that comes included. The colours are sorted and stored in a variet of ways and phots that are imported into the software have custom colour pallets created around them. This alone is worth the MSRP of $499.00 to me.

So before I ran out to replace my outdated Spyder 2 Pro, which I haven’t just yet, I started doing a little more digging and finally found some videos on YouTube that gave some reviews. I’m really finding it hard at the moment not dropped some cash for this little guy and start putting it to some good use.
