Color Munki Photo vs Epson closed system

[froyd]

I'm considering the purchase of a ColorMunki Photo spectrometer. I already own an older Spyder colorimeter (I believe it's a 2), which I use to calibrate a Dell U2415.

My printer is an Epson R3000. I normally print on Epson papers with Espon inks, using Epson profiles or ABW.

I currently get pretty good results with my monitor and printer combo, but having a few extra shekles burning a hole in my pockets these days, I'm wondering if I could further improve my printing, especially shadow detail and gradations.

Can any ColorMunki Photo users give me feedback on the following:

- Compatibility with Win 10. I believe the latest software update on X-Rite's site is from 2009
- Improvement of CM profiles over Epson ABW setting for monochrome prints
- Worth using it for monitor calibration as well vs my current Spyder? My gut tells me no, but just checking...

after some initial problems with my OS on my iMac,the Munkimade a perfect profile for monitor and printer(3880)the monitor profile is far better than the previous made with Spider 2

Ralp- what combo of ink and paper were you using on the 3880 before you switched to the Munki profile?

Epson Ultrachrome with Canson high-gloss pho paper but I didn't change that combo for the Munki
