The X-Rite i1iSis 2 A4/Letter Automated Chart Reader with OBC, i1Profiler Software Bundle ushers in a new era of efficiency for printer profile creation. This automated chart reader tackles the task with remarkable speed, processing 1500 patches on A4/Letter sized charts in just 8 minutes. Gone are the days of manual profiling – the i1iSis 2 automates the process entirely. But speed isn't the only benefit. The system adheres to the M1 measurement standard, guaranteeing accurate color capture on papers that contain optical brighteners, a common industry practice.

Furthermore, the i1iSis 2 boasts a built-in vision system that intelligently corrects for minor misalignments during chart feeding. This eliminates the need for manual adjustments, saving valuable time and ensuring consistent results. The benefits extend to color management as well. The i1iSis 2 captures full spectral data, enabling precise printer profiling and minimizing press downtime due to inaccurate color reproduction.

Versatility is another hallmark of the i1iSis 2. The system supports M0, M1, and M2 illumination conditions, allowing for measurements under various lighting scenarios. This ensures accurate profiling regardless of the printing environment. Additionally, the i1iSis 2 seamlessly accommodates a wide range of inks and substrates that incorporate optical brightening agents (OBAs), a common practice for enhancing the visual appeal of prints.

When it comes to industry compliance, the i1iSis 2 stands out. The system meets a variety of recognized standards including GRAcoL 2013, SWOP 2013, ISO standards, and FOGRA specifications. This ensures consistent and reliable performance within your printing workflow, giving you peace of mind and adherence to industry best practices.

The true power of the i1iSis 2 lies in its ability to maximize productivity while minimizing errors. The system proactively identifies color drift before it becomes noticeable to the human eye, upholding consistent color quality in every print. Analysis of high chart volumes becomes effortless with the i1iSis 2. The system streamlines the process and facilitates the averaging of multiple targets for comprehensive evaluations. This translates to significant time savings that can be directed towards other critical tasks within your printing operation. Investing in the i1iSis 2 isn't just about speed and accuracy – it's about unlocking a world of efficiency and achieving exceptional color consistency, ultimately leading to satisfied customers who receive high-quality prints every time.
