The X-Rite i1Publish Pro 3 Professional Spectral Color Measurer, the most advanced spectral color measurement solution from X-Rite, makes achieving consistent, professional-grade color reproduction from the moment you capture an image to the final output a reality for imaging and prepress professionals. This powerful device surpasses industry standards in accuracy and speed. Its single-pass, full-spectrum LED light source cuts scanning time in half compared to previous models. Furthermore, the i1Publish Pro 3 boasts the ability to measure smaller patches on targets, ensuring exceptional precision for even the most intricate details.

Take complete control over color across your entire workflow. The i1Publish Pro 3 allows you to profile and calibrate a wide range of devices, including monitors, projectors, scanners, cameras, and printers. Whether you work with RGB, CMYK, or even CMYK+ printers, this solution ensures consistent and accurate color representation. Achieve true color on even the most modern displays, including those featuring LED, OLED, and Wide Gamut technology, with a brightness capability of up to 5000 NITs. When it comes to printing, intelligent iterative profiling delivers unmatched quality with advanced controls for black generation, guaranteeing that your prints match your vision perfectly.

The i1Publish Pro 3 caters to users of all experience levels. Beginners can leverage the user-friendly wizard-driven interface for a smooth setup process. Experienced users, on the other hand, can take advantage of the pro-user mode for extensive control over every aspect of the calibration process. Real-time feedback ensures you position the device accurately for each measurement, and a self-check tool allows for minor adjustments to maintain consistent results throughout your workflow.

The benefits of the i1Publish Pro 3 extend far beyond just color accuracy. By integrating the optional i1iO Generation 3 automated scanning table, you can significantly reduce rework and minimize material waste during the calibration process. Additionally, device link profiling optimizes CMYK workflows by ensuring consistent color across different printers, eliminating the need for time-consuming adjustments on each device. X-Rite even includes ColorChecker Camera Calibration software and a target with the i1Publish Pro 3, allowing you to create custom camera profiles. This ensures that the colors you capture are accurately reflected throughout your entire imaging pipeline.

The i1Publish Pro 3 comes with everything you need to achieve unmatched color accuracy right out of the box. The package includes the i1Pro 3 Spectrophotometer, i1Profiler (i1Publish) Software, ColorChecker Camera Calibration Software, essential calibration accessories, and both ColorChecker Classic Mini and Proof targets. Invest in the X-Rite i1publish Pro 3 Professional Spectral Color Measurer and experience the power of consistent, professional-grade color throughout your imaging and prepress workflow. Unleash your creative potential and produce exceptional results every time.
