Color management hardware and software:

Datacolor Spyder3 Express
Datacolor Spyder3 Pro
Datacolor Spyder3 Elite

Datacolor Spyder3Studio SR
Datacolor Spyder3Print SR
X-Rite i1 Display LT
X-Rite i1 Display 2

Eizo ColorEdge CG223W monitor 22-inch monitor
NEC MultiSync P221W 22-inch monitor
ViewSonic VP2365WB 23-inch monitor
HP ZR24w 24-inch monitor
Apple LED Cinema Display 27-inch monitor

Links to many calibration images- see L2.2 here: http://www.inkjettips.com/chapters/chapter-2/
The link listed as “Andrew Darlow’s Target” is a small one (about 3×3 inches) that Andrew recommends for print testing. To go directly to the AdobeRGB version, click here, then drag it to your desktop (or right click and choose Save As). The PhotoDisc image available here is another popular full-page color test image.

An article to help match your monitor to your lab’s output (it includes a link to a 4×6 file to send to your lab).

Lighting: Solux Task Lamp: If you have MR-16 type spotlight fixtures, I recommend the 50 Watt 4700K/36 degree bulb to light your reference prints while looking at your calibrated and profiled screen, and the 50Watt/3500K/17 degree (more focused, a.k.a. spot) or 36 degree bulbs (more wide) for simulating the look of lighting typically used in galleries. You can find them directly from Solux at the link below:
Solux 50 watt, 4700K/36 Degrees BB, . They also sell a fixture for their bulbs here.

Another option (not as accurate as Solux bulbs, but much better than what most people use). This is a good jewelers lamp for $50 (you can often find them used as well).
http://www.nationaljewelerssupplies.com/p/SK2272.html . You can then replace the bulbs that ship with it if you want better lighting for proofing. 2 Sylvania Design 50 F15/T8 bulb will fit in that lamp and will cost about $10 ea.

Recommended applications for editing:

Photoshop CS4

Photoshop CS5

Photoshop Elements

Apple Aperture

Adobe Lightroom
