X-Rite to launch i1Profiler v1.5

Early adopters give i1Profiler v1.5 high marks for quickly and easily retargeting color data values when a job is being printed using a variety of digital and offset equipment, saving time when printing from one type of device to another and maintaining color separations.

Available free of charge to current customers with i1Pro 2, Device Link Profiling provides highly accurate color mapping from one device to another, which greatly reduces or eliminates the unpredictable results in printing operations that can occur when the same job is run on different pieces of printing equipment with varying ink coverages. The feature has significant advantages when creating digital-to-digital and digital-to-offset links, increasing the efficiency of cross-media production of materials.

In addition to running equipment efficiently, customers using i1Profiler v1.5 should see benefits in the vibrancy and saturation of printed materials and efficient use of inks and toners, said Frank Maeder, X-Rite Product Manager of Imaging Solutions.

All current i1Profiler users can install the upgrade conveniently by using the auto update feature on the software or by accessing the download of the software available at xrite.com.
