what is a spectrophotometer?

A spectrophotometer is a specialized device that sees the full spectrum of colors. This allows the device to measure the actual color of everything that it looks at. As a result, it can quickly and accurately judge colors across a wide range of output devices like monitors as a monitor calibrator, printers and even projectors. If you’re working with a multitude of output devices, you can see how this can come in handy to ensure that every device shows you the same picture. In other words, weird Uncle Pablo will look just as drunk on the projector as he does in the family photos that you printed.
The people at X-Rite have managed to squeeze all this functionality into the tiny chassis of the ColorMunki Photo.
