There's a lot of second hand used and unused spectrophotometers on ebay etc. Some have no license for printer profiling, but you can use ArgyllCMS to create excellent printer profiles. You can also find spectrophotometers with software bundles. Recently I bought very cheap ES-2000 (i1Pro2) with excellent EFI Color Profiler Suite license, and Konica-Minolta MYIRO-1 without software license (but it's better device with true M1 LED emitter) - both unused, both cheaper and way better than new ColorChecker Studio (rebranded ColorMunki Photo).
