“Meant to be used by
professionals who require
accurate color from their
printer, display, and projector,
the i1Photo Pro 3 set allows
photographers to quickly and
easily create custom camera,
monitor, projector, scanner,
and RGB printer profiles.”
The new i1Pro 3 offers a custom, full-spectrum, LED light
source that allows for single-pass scanning and improves device
reliability and accuracy. In tests with the iMac’s Retina P3 dis-
play, I noticed its accuracy has been improved considerably.
X-Rite says the unit is faster too but you won’t be blown away
by the increase in speed (due to its higher accuracy, I assume).
From what I saw with my iMac’s screen and the device specs,
I’m guessing the i1Pro 3 won’t have much trouble calibrating
and profiling even brighter HDR monitors, such as Apple’s
Display Pro XDR and other ultra-bright displays up to 5K NITs.
Furthermore, the i1Profiler software lets you match up to four
displays connected to a single computer, and unlimited displays
connected to different computers.
For printing, the i1Pro 3 measures M0, M1, and M2 simulta-
neously in a single pass while accounting for optical brighteners,
which is hugely better than previous versions. Also better is
that you won’t run into problems with small-sized color patches
anymore, as the i1Pro 3 reads patch sizes as small as six square
millimeters with a high accuracy. n› › REVIEWS> KELBY ONE.COM
