X-Rite I1 Publisher/I1 Pro OOBE, part 7

May 6, 2011 JimK 2 Comments

Now that I’ve figured out how to use it, I think the I1 Pro is adequate for making profiles that require reading 1000 or 2000 patches, if you don’t have to do it too often. While I’ve been impressed with the profiles that I1 Publisher produces from as few as 800 patches, I think I… [Read More]

I haven’t heard from X-Rite support, but I poked around and figured something out. I am able to create profiles when I read in one of the sample saved workflows that are part of the default installation. That tells me that the profile making part of the program is not completely broken. I suspect that… [Read More]
