X-Rite i1Pro 3 wins Printing United Alliance award

‘Winning the Product of Year Award is further validation of X-Rite’s commitment to innovation and delivering color measurement technologies designed to meet the evolving needs of digital printers and the variety of materials they support,’ commented Ray Cheydleur, printing and imaging product portfolio manager at X-Rite. ‘With the i1Pro 3 Plus and i1iO, printers can create ICC profiles for almost any substrate and calibrate print production devices for the highest level of color accuracy.’

The i1Pro 3 Plus is a spectral color measurement technology designed for imaging professionals who need advanced calibration and color profiling capabilities. The i1Pro 3 Plus features a larger 8mm aperture to support new materials used in digital printing applications such as ceramics, textiles, glass, metal, wood, vinyl, plastics, thin films, cardboard, paper, and more. It simultaneously measures M0, M1, and M2 in a single pass and supports transmission scanning for backlit signage applications. With the addition of the i1iO chart reader, the i1Pro 3 Plus can be used in automated measurement workflows, resulting in an easier and faster process from manual readings.

‘One of the things I like best about our competition is that it is juried, and judges are basing their decisions on objective criteria, and with outstanding entries like X-Rite i1Pro 3 Plus with i1iO, they had their work cut out for them,’ said Ray Weiss, director of digital print programs at Printing United Alliance. ‘The Product of the Year competition represents the best of the best among commercial hardware, software, consumables, and industrial and screen equipment. Congratulations to all the winners.’
