i1PRO 2 DEVICE
Our new profiling device is now available – future-proof and accurate.
With the i1Pro 2, X-Rite continues what the i1Pro spectrophotometer started! The i1Pro was the industry standard for over 10 years, and the i1Pro 2 is the next generation of this success. With improved accuracy, ease of use, and many new professional features, it follows the latest developments in ISO standardization.
Highlights:
Multiple light sources enable measurements under three standardized conditions (ISO 13655 M0: incandescent light; ISO 13655 M1: D50; ISO 13655 M2: UVCut). Optical Brightener Correction (OBC) for paper is also performed, all without the need for a second device or filter replacement.
The Optical Brightener Correction (OBC) feature delivers the highest precision when profiling with a wide variety of modern printing inks. Users can see exactly how a color will appear on paper with optical brighteners under standard lighting conditions and other viewing situations.
The position sensor ensures reliable scans, even with difficult substrates and low-resolution printers. In manual mode, very small measurement areas of just 7 mm can be measured: saving time and material costs, and supporting workflows with double measurements for OBC, M1, and M2.
The new status LED guides the user through the measurement process quickly and easily by displaying device and measurement status.
The new ergonomic design is more flexible, offering improved handling, cleaning, and storage, and better protecting the i1Pro 2 from environmental influences, thus ensuring long-term reliability and productivity.
Improved temperature stability and brightness values enable more accurate measurements for enhanced calibration and profiling of monitors and projectors.
Newly developed diagnostic and automatic correction functions.
Integrated wavelength calibration allows the sensor to self-test the optical grating during white calibration – with automatic correction and feedback, so you can rely on the accuracy of your device. Maintaining and protecting the device is now even easier.
The protective glass of the aperture can be cleaned by the user, and the protective cover of the white calibration standard prevents contamination from dirt and dust. This ensures that the device always performs at its best.
Compatible with XRGA
The i1Pro 2 uses the X-Rite Graphic Arts Standard (XRGA), making it easier than ever to meet ISO standards in digital print production. This ensures that the data passed through the supply chain by all parties involved is reliable and consistent.
i1PROFILER SOFTWARE:
i1Profiler uses X-Rite's i1Prism color technology, offering unprecedented flexibility and superior performance and control in creating professional profiles through a wide range of color management features. The software allows for use in the guided "Easy" mode or for true professionals in the fully customizable "Advanced" mode, ensuring your profiles deliver accurate, high-quality color output for monitors and projectors.
i1Profiler includes the following unique features, among others:
Calibration and profiling of all modern projector and monitor types, including RGB phosphor, plasma, LED, and OLED monitors, as well as wide-gamut monitors.
Create high-quality color profiles for projectors.
Create high-quality color profiles for monitors and projectors.
Optimize profiles based on ambient lighting conditions.
Ensure consistent output quality from monitors and printers.
i1Profiler includes the following specific features, among others:

Allows the use of all palettes (including custom palettes from image colors) in i1Profiler for optimizing spot colors with printer profiles
Create device-specific CMYK color recipes based on your ICC profiles for all PANTONE libraries
Simulate and visualize the differences between spot colors and 4-color process colors with warnings for monitor and printer gamut. Colors that cannot be printed correctly on the specified output device (monitor or printer) are identified
Synchronize spot colors for design programs
i1PRO 2 ACCESSORIES
The accessories for the i1Pro 2 have been completely redesigned to further improve ease of use.
The i1Pro 2 includes a user-friendly, solvent-resistant aluminum ruler that allows easy and quick one-handed chart scanning. The ruler can be used alone or with the foldable white backing plate. With this ruler, i1Pro 2 measurements are fast and always accurate.
