IT’S A FACT:

out of the box, the color on your display is not as accurate as you think.

Shadow details are lost, whites appear too cool or too warm. Prints aren’t even close to the screen. And the color varies from one monitor to the next (like the various TV’s in an electronics store).

You need to take control of your display since it’s the only place to view your digital data in its native form! It is the critical first step in color management.

It’s easy and inexpensive to get accurate professional color on your display. Use an i1 to get true color — a best first impression of your digital file and an essential element in real world color management.

i1 Monitor Solutions

Every i1 monitor solution comes complete with i1 hardware and i1Match software. i1 monitor solutions accurately calibrate and profile all types of monitors, including LCD, CRT and laptops.

Choose from two options in hardware:

i1Display (LT and 2) monitor only colorimeter or i1 Pro spectrophotometer, which measures not only monitors, but a host of other workflow devices such as scanners, cameras, projectors and printers.

i1Match software

is the brains behind the i1 system. It offers the easiest-to-use interface, but highly sophisticated full professional algorithms and functionality, with simple on-screen help so the user can breeze through the calibration and profiling process. Plus, it provides the essential platform to easily upgrade functionality depending upon your chosen hardware capabilities.

NEW i1Defined Color Training in Every Box!

It’s a well known fact that color management works, but only if you use and apply the technology correctly in your workflow.

X-Rite makes this even easier with an all-new FREE interactive training program, right in the box! This unique humanized interactive media program explains complex color concepts in an easy-to-understand way, covering color fundamentals, system basics, and digital workflow foundations.

For customers interested in i1Pro solutions * , an all-new FREE one-hour remote personal color trainer (PCT) session is also included! It’s direct, efficient, and customized to your needs.

After attending your PCT session, you will:

• Learn the correct techniques for using i1 technology

• Understand how to create the best input, monitor and printer profiles

• Find out how to implement profiles in your desktop

applications and workflow

• Avoid costly issues and problems when implementing color management in a sophisticated workflow

Additional PCT sessions available for purchase.

Visit xrite.com/aboutdefined for more information.

*i1Photo LT and i1Design LT do not include free PCT session, however this session can

be added as an option purchased separately.

2 i1Display sensor features 4 sensors for enhanced performance. In addition to the RGB sensors, a fourth sensor detects the frequency of pulsing display sources such as CRTs to completely eliminate measurement noise.

3 i1Display sensor and i1Pro analyzer utilize the RGB filters plus a special ambient diffuser to accurately measure both light level and color intensity.

4 Users can define any gamma setting from 1 to 3, or select native gamma (for hardware calibrated monitors.)

5 Users can define any whitepoint from 4000 to 10,000, or define white point based on the white point of the ambient light conditions.

6 Users can utilize base settings from another monitor profile to ensure the best match across multiple monitors in an organization.

7 i1Display LT, Display 2 and PRO all provide automatic calibration support for popular high end graphic arts monitors from Eizo, LaCie,

Sony, NEC, Mitsubishi. (For complete list of supported models please refer to xrite.com)

8 i1Display LT lets graphics professionals ensure they are working in optimal lighting conditions. i1Display 2 and Eye-One Pro lets graphic professionals ensure they are working in optimal lighting conditions and also adapt the monitor to match specific conditions, such as those from a lightbox.
