X-Rite i1Pro 3 Solutions

Leading the Market in Color Profiling Solutions

Designed for imaging professionals who rely on accurate color for their displays and projectors, who want to track and verify monitor and print quality, and who need to capture spot color measurement, the i1Pro 3 is the answer.

i1Basic Pro 3 calibrates and matches up to four displays connected to a single computer, and unlimited displays connected to different computers, for consistent viewing. With i1Basic Pro 3, you can quickly and easily create custom monitor and projector profiles that ensure the colors you view are true, verify soft proofs and print quality with built-in Quality Assurance (QA) tools, and easily capture and manage spot colors.

Benefits:

• Custom full-spectrum LED light source enables single-pass scanning and improves device reliability and accuracy versus the prior xenon-flash i1Pro 2.
• Measures M0, M1, and M2 simultaneously in a single pass, cutting scanning time in half.
• Ergonomic design for easy cleaning and accurate measurements.
• Reads smaller patches than i1Pro 2 with improved accuracy — reducing paper and ink waste on every profiling chart.
• Real-time user feedback ensures accurate measurement position, with a self-check tool that adjusts for minor shifts.
• PANTONE Color Manager software enables accurate capture and management of spot colors, auto-extracting best-match PANTONE palettes from your own images.
• Includes i1Profiler software with basic and advanced modes for professionally calibrated monitors (including video-production presets), projectors, and scanners.
• Supports high-brightness displays up to 5,000 nits for the best possible calibration of modern monitors and projectors.
• Easy upgrade to i1Publish Pro 3 software adds complete printer (RGB, CMYK, CMYK + any four) profiling, quality control, and camera profiling capabilities.
• Simple license transfer from i1Photo Pro 2 and i1Publish Pro 2.
• Pair with the i1iO Gen. 3 automated scanning table to speed up profile creation and reduce material waste during production.

Built on the success of X-Rite’s i1Pro 2 — the de facto industry standard for more than a decade — i1Pro 3 delivers the next generation of industry-leading technology: increased accuracy, ease of use, and an expanded professional feature set that includes the latest ISO standardization. i1Pro 3 is equipped with the X-Rite Graphic Arts Standard (XRGA), making it faster and easier for companies and professionals in digital production printing to adhere to ISO standards and trust that data sent or received across the supply chain is reliable and repeatable — reducing waste and rework.

Step 1: Pick your device.

Step 2: Pick your software level.

Step 3: Add automation.

• The optional X-Rite i1iO chart reader captures hands-free measurements on printer profile charts and accommodates both i1Pro 3 and i1Pro 3 Plus devices to speed up measurement and improve consistency.
