You also get an industry standard 24-patch ColorChecker card, which can be used to create profiles for a camera and a scanner. Printer profiles are made by scanning printed colour swatches. The device (hardware known as a spectrophotometer) and accompanying software (of which there are now three packages) make up X-Rite i1Studio, to create a colour management system for all your devices, with the end result being prints that match the images you see on screen.Īccurate colour profiles for a monitor or projector are created by the spectrophotometer through measuring the light from a display, while factoring in the ambient light.
X-Rite describes the i1Studio as a ‘start-to-finish colour management solution for colour perfectionists’. An update to the X-Rite ColorMunki Photo colour calibration device has been launched in the shape of the X-Rite i1Studio.
