Through the licensing agreement with X-Rite, HP’s support and engineering teams will be equipped with i1Profiler software and i1Pro spectrophotometers to create standard ICC profiles to embed into all HP Scitex printers and to additionally provide their customers with custom ICC profiles needed for their specific wide-format color-critical production environments.
The ICC profiles generated by X-Rite’s i1Profiler can be further enhanced through iteration using additional patches or spot colors. This iterative capability offers an additional level of colour control over the output quality of HP Scitex wide format imaging workflows. In addition, X-Rite has further improved their patch recognition algorithm to have a clear and error free reading of test charts even when printer resolution is low.
Colour management has become a crucial element in any wide-format printing workflow as users become more aware of the advantages in delivering consistent, accurate colour to their customers.
X-Rite’s i1Profiler lets users build printer profiles for digital press workflows up to 8-colors (CMYK + 4). This technology allows the user to maximize the colour reproduction of a printer for further profile optimization based on any combination of images, spot colours or captured colours. Users can select from any of the included PANTONE colour libraries, including the new PANTONE PLUS SERIES.
Users can further adapt their profiles to specific ambient light conditions, compensate for optical brighteners in their papers (with an i1iSis), and utilize simple yet sophisticated controls for black separation. i1Profiler lets users save and reuse assets or preferred settings with drag-and-drop functionality — meaning profile generation workflows can be created or shared with others quickly, easily and efficiently. This exchange functionality also allows users to communicate palette information and other colour data across the office or around the world using X-Rite’s Color Exchange Format (CxF).
