Designed for imaging professionals who rely on accurate color for their displays and projectors, who want to track and verify monitor and print quality, and who need to capture spot color measurements, the X-Rite i1Basic Pro 3 is the answer. It calibrates and matches up to four displays connected to a single computer (and unlimited displays across different computers) for consistent viewing.
Quickly create custom monitor and projector profiles so the colors you view are true, verify soft proofs and print quality with built-in Quality Assurance (QA) tools, and easily capture and manage spot colors.
Benefits:
- Custom full-spectrum LED light source — single-pass scanning for improved reliability and accuracy
- Measures M0, M1, and M2 simultaneously in a single pass, cutting scanning time in half
- Improved accuracy over the i1Pro 2 — reads smaller patches, with real-time position feedback and a self-check tool for minor shifts
- High-brightness display support — up to 5000 nits for better emissive measurement and calibration
- i1Profiler software — basic and advanced modes for monitors (with video-production presets), projectors, and scanners
- PANTONE Color Manager — capture and manage spot colors and build best-match PANTONE palettes auto-extracted from your images
- XRGA & ISO standardization — reliable, repeatable data across every link in the supply chain
- Easy upgrade path — add i1Publish for full RGB, CMYK, and CMYK + any 4 printer profiling, QC, and camera profiling
- License transfer — from i1Photo Pro 2 and i1Publish Pro 2
- Automation-ready — optimizes file creation with less waste when paired with the i1iO Generation 3 table
Includes: i1Pro 3 spectrophotometer, i1Profiler software, PANTONE Color Manager software, and robust i1 accessories (ambient light measurement head, monitor holder, scanning ruler, backup board, spot color positioning target, soft carrying case).
