PSA: That $80 screen calibrator was a total game changer for my prints

I kept having prints come back from the lab looking muddy and dark, nothing like my screen. After the third bad batch cost me about $60 in wasted paper, I bit the bullet and got a SpyderX calibrator. It took 10 minutes to set up and now my monitor shows colors exactly how they'll print. Anyone else have a tool that fixed a constant headache in their workflow?

Which lab service do you usually use?

LabCorp, mostly because it's the only one I can ever remember (my memory is not great). Their website is pretty easy to use, which is a low bar I'm happy to clear. I'm a simple person with simple lab needs.
