The X-Rite i1Basic Pro 3 Plus Spectral Color Measurer/i1iO for i1Pro 3 Automatic Chart Reading System Bundle empowers imaging professionals to achieve unmatched color accuracy across displays, projectors, and prints. This powerful combination utilizes the i1Basic Pro 3 Plus, a high-performance spectral color measurer, to deliver exceptional color fidelity on even the most demanding displays, reaching up to 5000 nits. Its 8mm aperture surpasses standard colorimeters, ensuring superior results for accurate color reproduction.

The i1Basic Pro 3 Plus goes beyond measurement prowess to streamline workflow and quality assurance. Users can create custom profiles to achieve consistent and true-to-life colors across all monitors and projectors. Built-in QA tools empower users to verify and maintain print quality through reliable soft proofing. Capturing and managing spot colors becomes effortless, allowing for easy matching and maintaining specific colors throughout projects.

The i1Basic Pro 3 Plus caters specifically to the needs of professional users by offering the ability to calibrate multiple displays. This ensures consistent color viewing on up to four connected computers and an unlimited number of separate displays, guaranteeing color accuracy across the entire workspace. Additionally, the i1Basic Pro 3 Plus offers broad video standard support, working seamlessly with NTSC, ITU-R-Rec.BT.709, and PAL SECAM broadcast video standards. This versatility makes it ideal for various professional applications, including video editing and post-production.

For even more advanced functionality, the i1Basic Pro 3 Plus offers an upgrade path to the i1Publish software. This software unlocks comprehensive printer profiling, camera calibration, and a range of other capabilities, transforming the i1Basic Pro 3 Plus into a true all-in-one color management solution. Finally, the ability to integrate the i1iO or i1iSis 2 automated chart readers (sold separately) allows users to automate workflows and achieve hands-free profiling, further enhancing efficiency in color-critical workflows.

By investing in the i1Basic Pro 3 Plus & i1iO 3 Bundle, imaging professionals gain a powerful tool to achieve precise color control and produce stunning results consistently. Its robust feature set, superior measurement technology, and upgrade path make it an ideal solution for photographers, designers, printers, and anyone else who relies on exceptional color accuracy.

The i1iO, included in the bundle, is a perfect solution for photographers, designers, and printers who prioritize color accuracy and efficiency. This innovative robotic chart reading system automates the tedious process of manually reading test charts, eliminating human error and saving time. It streamlines workflow by automating chart reading, allowing users to dedicate more time to creative pursuits.

The i1iO boasts impressive measurement speed, reading over 500 patches per minute for swift profile creation. This translates to noticeably faster turnaround times, particularly beneficial for high-volume printing or editing projects. By eliminating human error from the equation, it delivers a significant boost to color profiling accuracy and consistency. This translates to profiles that are more reliable and trustworthy, ensuring consistent color reproduction across the entire workflow.

The i1iO's versatility tackles reflective targets on a wide range of materials, including textiles, ceramics, and even thin films, up to 10mm thick. This expanded material compatibility makes it ideal for photographers working with unique printing surfaces or designers creating projects on non-standard substrates.

Furthermore, the i1iO seamlessly integrates with the i1Pro 3 Plus color spectrophotometer, forming a complete color profiling solution. This integrated approach ensures a smooth and efficient workflow from start to finish. For users of the i1Pro 3 Plus, the i1iO unlocks automated transmission profiling, allowing for the creation of accurate color profiles for backlit materials commonly used in signage and displays.
