X-Rite i1Publish Software

X-Rite i1Publish Software

i1Publish Software delivers advanced flexibility and functionality for creating custom color profiles, especially when used with the i1iSis device, addressing the needs of digital imaging workflows.

The software offers professional, precise custom profiling for monitors, printers, and projectors. It supports all user expertise levels with both a basic wizard-driven interface and an advanced interface, both yielding excellent results.

Profiling Capabilities

Powered by X-Rite's i1Prism engine, i1Publish Software enables building print profiles for up to 8-color workflows, including RGB, CMYK, and CMYK plus any 4 additional colors. This robust technology allows optimization based on images, spot colors, or captured colors. Users can also access all included PANTONE color libraries, including the Plus Series.
