Printers, whether inkjet, toner, dye sublimation, photographic or lithographic, are where the biggest colour variations occur, and hence where colour correction techniques can provide huge benefits and improvements. Accurate printer colour management can help you achieve predictability, consistency, and maximum tonal correction and colour range, regardless of the media used.

X-Rite (now incorporating GretagMacbeth) offer a range of printer profiling solutions built around award-winning Eye-One technology, from entry-level devices to fully comprehensive, professional standard packages. X-Rite

EZcolor – Accurate, consistent colour from device to device X-Rite’s award-winning EZcolor software is the simple way to achieve accurate and consistent colour across devices and paper types. EZcolor builds high quality scanner and printer ICC profiles, using only a flatbed reflective scanner and the IT8 target provided. Simply scan the target to calibrate the scanner, and print and scan a set of colour patches to do the same for the printer. EZcolor compares the colours with the expected results, using the differences to create an ICC profile. In less than 10 minutes, you can be ready to achieve colour perfect prints.

For profiling transmissive scanners, you can buy the optional 35mm or 4x5 IT8 targets - see related products for further information and prices.
