Datacolor's SpyderPRINT allows photographers, designers and imaging professionals to manage the color of their print output -- it's a great tool for print matching and can reduce the amount of paper and ink used in the long run.
By selecting any combination of printer, ink and media in the software, SpyderPRINT provides a full assortment of tools. You'll be able to create any number of custom profiles to ICC standards. After installing the software, you can print your choice of targets with your printer and then use the SpyderGuide device to guide you through the process to calibrate and build a profile.
The SpyderProof feature provides a series of images to help you evaluate details and compare it with your images. Additionally, you can adjust profile settings to get the best possible printed output for images.

Comments about Datacolor SpyderPRINT:
Very pleased with the results of using this piece of gear. I've used the Spyder for years to calibrate my monitors but there's always that "disconnect" between what the monitor shows and what actually comes out of the printer (no two of the same printers output exactly the same and there can be slight differences in batches of ink and paper). I always managed to get the colors and tones close by printing and adjusting, printing and adjusting...
Now, that I created ICC profiles with SpyderPrint which are specific to my paper, ink and printer combination I'm saving of time, paper and ink.
If you do a lot of printing, you really need to get one of these!
