i1Design UV calibrates and profiles:
- Monitors - LCD, CRT and Laptops
- RGB and CMYK printers with "small test chart technology"
i1Design UV is the newest, entry-level color management solution designed specifically for freelance designers, small creative firms and small print shops. It’s the perfect easiest-to-use and affordable solution for those just starting out in color management, while still providing a flexible platform for growth. You won’t need to make excuses for color again!
i1Design UV allows you to quickly and easily create accurate color profiles for all types of monitors, and easily builds profiles for your RGB and CMYK printers utilizing our new “small test chart” technology.
New "Small Test Chart" technology
With this new technology you can quickly and easily create a perceptual color profile by reading just a few rows of color swatches from a given output device. Within the i1Match application, you simply print the small test chart named RGB Easy or CMYK Easy and then scan it in using your i1 device.
How does it work?
This "small test chart" technology uses a revolutionary, patent-pending approach which combines an internal pre-linearization and creation of a virtual large test chart. We then apply the most sophisticated profiling techniques to fine tune the gray axis. The resulting profile is based solely on perceptual rendering — the ideal solution for entry level color management.
i1Design UV provides all the tools necessary to begin implementing a color managed workflow, and is fully upgradeable. It includes the industry defacto standard i1Pro device and award-winning i1Match software. And with the powerful i1Share software that is also included, you can take full advantage of your i1 system. You’ll easily be able to measure, mix and share spot and PANTONE™ colors plus take advantage of a host of other cool design tools. And it’s completely compatible with your favorite design programs.
If you’re looking to get accurate on-screen color and a more accurate color comp from your desktop printer, then i1Design UV can get you started. By incorporating the new "small test chart" technology, it makes profiling both RGB and CMYK printers a snap. However, for more critical color needs like proofing or high end photo color, upgrade to an advanced RGB or CMYK printer profiling module or consider the i1Photo, i1Proof or i1XT Bundle.
