X-Rite i1Publish (software only)

X-Rite i1Publish Software

i1Publish Software offers users an unprecedented level of flexibility and functionality when combined with an i1iSis device for creating custom profiles and addressing the needs of digital imaging workflows.

i1Publish Software boasts a number of unique colour management capabilities that allow users to produce professional, precise custom profiles for monitors, printers, and projectors. All levels of expertise are covered with the option to choose either the basic wizard-driven or the advanced interface, with both producing the same outstanding results.

i1Publish Profiling

i1Publish Software is driven by X-Rite's i1Prism engine, whose unique profiling technology allows users to build print profiles for up to 8-Colour workflows (RGB, CMYK & CMYK + any 4). This technology is extremely robust, allowing further optimization based on any combination of images, spot colours, or captured colours.

Users can also select from any of the included PANTONE colour libraries, including the new Plus Series.
