curious if anyone is using this product and how you would rate it on a scale from 1-to-10 (10 being the best)

Really ?

Nobody uses one of these for color profiling ?

OK then . . . !

I don't use it and would hesitate to. It only reads Pantone colors and then translates that specific color to RGB mode. So if the color you want is outside the Pantone spectrum, you won't get a true match.

If this was something that read the RGB or CMYK value of something I'd jump on it. But to only read Pantone? I'll just use my swatch book...

I am pretty sure this can only be used for profiling your MONITOR, not for making CMYK RIP profiles. For that, you need one of these: http://www.signs101.com/pp-classifi...g-macbeth-eyeone-proof-spectrophotometer.html

Ooh, couldn't resist

Not looking to make profiles, just to color match an object with a color in (for example) the CorelDRAW color swatches . . .

Not very reliable.Its all in the lighting.You can measure a pantone swatch from book and get variable results on the same swatch with multiple measurements.@ 70 -80% chance of getting a rite match
