I may try another time, see how variable it is. But any calibration based on human eye matching colors is bound to have a certain variability. Not to say that colorimeters are perfect either, but they're more consistent. The Eye One Display 2 unit has saved massive amounts of time, paper and ink. Paid for itself a long time ago.
