Title: Colormunki Photo again
Post by: jaol on June 28, 2013, 05:23:01 am

I´m thinking of buying a Colormunki Photo but I´ll get a new computer in a years time or so and I suppose it will have Windows 8. And I want to be able use the Colormunki with the new machine as well. (And the next one but thats to much to hope for I realize).
I´ve been to the X-rite site and I can´t see any information on the Windows 8. I also sent a question but didn´t recived any response. Can anyone tell if it will work with Windows 8?

I've also been using this on Windows 7 for a year, and recently Windows 8 Pro. When I installed Windows 8, it had no issues actually finding the Colormunki drivers and installing them without assistance.

ColorMunki Photo is a Spectrophotometer. I know, the naming conventions at X-rite are as confusing as hell.
