My calibrator (a Spyder Pro) is a hardware device ... a colorimeter ... which you hang on the monitor while running the associated software.
The software generates a patch of colour and the colorimeter measures it and generates a profile for that monitor which is applied when the computer is fired up.
I don't quite understand how a calibration profile obtained from one monitor can be applied to another monitor ... or for that matter how a single profile would work for two different monitors. Perhaps if each monitor is being driven by it's own graphics card with each card having it's own profile ... but what about two monitors being driven by the same graphics hardware?

Hi Andy,
I use a ColorMunki Photo to calibrate, as I also have 2 printers which I calibrate regularly, and this device is able to calibrate monitors, printers and projectors.
The hardware/software combo calibrates each monitor individually and generates a profile for each. There is a tool you need to install on XP to use a different profile on each monitor, but Windows 7 supports it natively.
Two monitors running off the same card is no issue, as that's how I am running my setup. Win7 just applies the correct profile to each monitor and things are sweet
