I used Monitor Spyder with PhotoCal and RGB Profile, but I only had one
monitor to calibrate. Of course OptiCal is designed to calibrate multiple
monitors, so I should think that would be your way to go. At least when I
used the RGB Profile, their instructions for use with Photoshop 6 could not
be followed and I had to use the tool manually, an extremely laborious
process that took all day, but I wound up with a monitor/printer combination
that remains to this day (about three months later) a very good match. My
printer is the Epson 2000p, monitor Cornerstone p1700. Both seem to be
extremely stable, as they continue to track each other.
