Color calibration for multiple monitors - on the cheap

Is there an inexpensive yet accurate way of calibrating color on multiple monitors? The color on my laptop is so messed up that I really hesitate doing any post processing in the field. When I bring the images home, and view them on my desktop, it is obvious the color on the image processed on my laptop, is way off. When I print the image on my home printer - or even - on a commercial printer - I get yet another color permutation. Any suggestions? Can I rent a device? Is there a DIY method? ???

How to I calibrate color on multiple monitors and printers without spending a lot of money :-)

I'm using spyder for all 5 monitor including notebook. Once you get color profile file after calibration then no need plug in device in one computer all the time. But I do calibration once per 2~3 months.

There are a number of tools on the market such as the x-rite, spyder, colormuki and many more. From my experience you will need to buy one of this tools as you can't eye ball it. I do own a spyder kit, but if I was going by again I would buy the colormuki as it's all in one piece of equipment. In the end you should save money on printing as you can do soft proofing.

Thanks for the info... Sounds like I need to buy a device. No "eyeballing it"

Spyder or colormunki ? There seems to be quite a wide range in price - $80-$600 USD at B&H.

Which model do you recommend?
