Customer Dan Kass, M.D., Port Jefferson, NY

"Profiling one computer with two monitors has never been easier or more intuitive.Exactly what I was looking for. Monitor calibration and printer profiling for those who need it but don't care to know the details."

Customer David Shapiro, Buffalo Grove, IL

"I love being able to print the vision that I've created in my mind and on my monitor. My printer has always been the weakest link - NOT ANY MORE!!"

Customer Edwin Rosenwasser, M.D., of Rockville Centre, NY

"After using several other calibration systems, I finally am able to print accurately what I see on my monitor."

Customer Howard Rachlin, Durango, CO

"It's saving me paper and ink. I had tweaked my printer over the years to be (I thought) pretty good. But ... I still would have to print two or three test prints before I was really happy. Now the first (or occasionally) the second is right on!"

Customer Jodie Sinclair , Narragansett, RI

"Excellent product! I can't describe the joy of having the very 1st print be perfect!!"

X-Rite's Color Munki Photo
An easy to use color calibrator for photographers - by Joshua Virata

"For all you photographers out there who want to enhance your prints with correct color presentation ColorMunki is for you. Profiling your displays and printers can dramatically help your prints and the easier it is to create these profiles the better."

Adorama Product Review: X-Rite ColorMunki
Accurate and Easy Color Management - by Dennis Hays

"There is no doubt in my mind that the ColorMunki is a worthwhile addition to a photographer's arsenal. Monitors and printers will change over time and will do so more slowly than your eyes can discern."

MacWorld: ColorMunki 1.1

“The ColorMunki product line brings very good color management down to the entry-level professional, advanced amateur, or enthusiast at a reasonable price. Both the hardware and software are easy to use and the digitizing features of the Design and Photo software make it an indispensable tool for those who need to match colors to paints, fabrics, and other physical objects.”

All-in-One Profiling - by Mike Pasini

“So what do we mean when we say the ColorMunki Photo can do it all?  We mean ColorMunki Photo can not only profile your monitors (compensating for ambient light) but it can build ICC profiles for printer/paper/ink combinations and profile projectors. And it can calibrate itself without resorting to any external references.”

X-Rite's ColorMunki at PMA

“It's all a lot easier than it sounds, actually, and will likely sell best if you can demonstrate the ease of the device, making sure you show customers the difference between prints that were done before and after a color management system was on the job. Those prosumers who've already felt the frustration of the disconnect between that gorgeous bride they saw in their viewfinder and the strangely-orange-skinned lady in their first trash prints will be fascinated.  And pitching the ColorMunki Photo as "at last, the finishing touch" to a consummate pro's workflow may just seal the deal.”

X-Rite ColorMunki Photo by Robert Barnett

“The ColorMunki Photo package is a great product, a great deal and at a great price. If you want the best prints possible from your digital camera and photo printer then
you really need to make sure you are using a high quality calibrated workflow and ColorMunki Photo makes it very easy to do that and more. If you don't think the $499 price tag is a good deal consider the cost of ink for your printer and how much you are going to save by getting the perfect print with the first print instead of the third or fourth. ColorMunki Photo pays for itself quickly in ink and paper saving alone.”

Colour management made easy? - by Keith Cooper

“If you take pictures and get them printed (by yourself or by a lab) then the first thing you need to sort out is getting your monitor calibrated. After that, if you do your own printing, then custom icc printer profiles will usually improve your print quality. I sometimes see people on forums say it's not really needed. If you value the quality (and consistency) of your final results then this is just plain wrong.”

X-Rite ColorMunki Photo Review By Ken Conley

“So what’s so exciting about the X-Rite ColorMunki Photo? As the new spectrophotometer on the block, it calibrates faster and has received rave press for it’s “user-friendliness.” But faster, easier-to-use calibration is still just calibration - necessary, but not fun. I was excited about the ColorMunki Photo because it does more than just calibrate: it can actually sample real-world colors from the physical environment and bring them into your digital world.”

X-Rite ColorMunki Photo Display Device by Gary Wolstenholme

"The ColorMunki photo takes the pain out of colour management. It makes what can be a troublesome and time consuming process into a simple, easy-to-follow, step by step system for achieving accurate colours on-screen and in print.”

Review of the ColorMunki Photo from X-Rite by Oliver Nielsen

“Up until now, you had to be a geek if you wanted to calibrate your printer. It would require meticulously measuring several sheets of hundreds and sometimes even thousands, of small color patches, individually, one at a time. Sounds like fun? Well, maybe if you’re generally very very bored. And, the devices used to measure, often cost quite a lot, if they are of any worthwhile quality.  That was until the ColorMunki came to town. The ColorMunki is based on a spectrophotometer, not the cheaper colorimeter variations that are found in cheaper monitor profiling packages…”.

ColorMunki Photo Review by Jon Canfield

“Combining monitor calibration with printer profiling at a reasonable price, the ColorMunki Photo should take care of all your color management needs. The additional features, like the ability to optimize a printer profile for specific needs, and the Digital Pouch for sharing and viewing color managed images are intuitive and go a step beyond what anyone else has available.”

X-Rite ColorMunki Photo Spectrophotometer Review by Stephen Fung

“Created by the minds at X-Rite, the ColorMunki Photo is the answer for people who take lots of pictures, but always wonder why what they see on the monitor isn’t what they remember shooting. This little gizmo profiles your monitors, even your printers and projectors, to allow you to display your shots exactly the way that you remember taking them on all your displays.”

ColorMunki from X-Rite by Michael Testi 

“To paraphrase an old Beatles song, "Everyone has something to hide except me and my ColorMunki!" What do I mean? It is the hidden colors that exist in your photo, and because of any number of reasons, don't show up either on your monitor and/or on your printer, because they are not calibrated correctly and together. That is what the ColorMunki can do."

ColorMunki Photo Review by Jon Canfield

“X-Rite has a real winner with the ColorMunki Photo. Combining monitor calibration with printer profiling at a reasonable price, the ColorMunki Photo should take care of all your color management needs. The additional features, like the ability to optimize a printer profile for specific needs, and the Digital Pouch for sharing and viewing color managed images are intuitive and go a step beyond what anyone else has available.”
