Notes by the author Jared Platt -
Getting perfect prints out of your printer starts with knowing you have the correct color and that is dependent on scientific calibration. Without calibration, it is impossible to know if what you are seeing on your monitor is correct and similarly, without calibration, it is impossible to get your printer to print what you are seeing on your monitor. Calibration comes in the form of ICC color profiles for both your monitor and your printer (and the paper you are printing on). Once you have a monitor calibrated, the job is only half done. You now know what you are looking at is correct, but you still need to have a printer/paper profile that will translate what you are seeing on your monitor to that same color and contrast on the printed page. Paper manufacturers go to great lengths to provide accurate color profiles for their papers for almost every major photo printer on the market. And when you buy a printer and install the printer driver, the paper profiles for that printer brand’s paper will also be installed. This is the easiest way to have a good calibration for your printer and the paper you use to print your photos. A more accurate way to provide your computer with the definitions of color it needs to match your prints to what you are seeing on the monitor is to create your own printer paper profiles with the i1Pro by xRite. With the i1 Pro, you can create perfectly accurate profiles that will ensure that your prints are not only accurate but that you can also use to preview your prints before you print through soft-proofing. In this video, I will show you how to create a printer paper profile and how to install downloaded paper profiles and how to use them in Lightroom for soft-proofing. Once you learn how to soft proof your prints, you will be on the road to a faster, more efficient and much more pleasing print workflow.
The proper title is: How to calibrate your printer for perfect colors with i1Photo Pro 2
True. At least I know that this method is an option. I'm hoping there's a way where I can print then use the scanner.
Hi when you in the light room paper profile can I tweet the adjustment to make right.
Great video. Quick question. Once I soft proof my image on the desired paper I want, how should I then format it to send it to my print shop across the town? I’m unclear if I should format it as JPG/TIFF, color profile to embed etc.
Thank you for this training. As always your teaching and help is excellent. Following you for years. Question; I Print w aCanon Pro 10 for several years. I use a Colormunki Photo for monitor and printer/paper profiling. I use Precision Inks and profile my selected papers that I use on the Pro-10 with Precision Colors Ink. I am pleased with my prints BUT the question is, can I do better, print better offer noticably better color? I am concidering the i1Studio or even the i1 Pro2 (I can get a nearly new one for great price). But what can I expect in improved printing and colors with an upgrade to one of these meters? / Thank you
Hi Jared. I assume that soft proofing in LR dev module should give the same results as in the case where you calibrate the monitor according to your printer profile (as you suggest in another video on this topic). Which method is more accurate according to your observations? Which one do you prefer?
how long should I wait after printing the color swatches to let the ink dry before reading them?
A late question. Metternich says in a qa that you need a high res monitor (+3600*1400) to see what the actual details of your photos are. Here you are saying the printers have a narrower colour range.
Does this mean monitors are overkill colourwise, but perfectly suited resolution wise? Or are monitors too high res for modern high end printers?
Is it possible to do this with a CMYK laser printer?
Hi, with having Xrite full package, still do I need some softwares like Mirage to control and calibrate my printer and apparently profiles?
do i1 pro support RGB printer calibration
I use x rite colormunki photo for my ICC paper profiles and with a recent purchase of a Canon Pro-4100 to go alongside my Canon IPF8400 having issues colour matching prints out of both printers. Even with using Optimize Existing Profile feature .
I have the same printers so i give you "Gold" here. One have basically 4 similar options to do this, i give one example.
Without the posibility to do the linerization=calibration of the printer one is TOTALLY lost at color management.
As you have 2 printers i recemend this solution.
Example; Use the i1 Basic with the additional RIP SW from "ONYX Postershop" to calibrate the printer, this also give the acess for print lay out and media management in ONYX that is highly usefull. Also use the i1 for the computer screen.
You will need help to set up the ONYX soft ware the first time and to run a full ICC profiling build with the i1.
It consist of "ink limits", "ink restricktion" , "linarization" and "ICC profiling", and much more, its dificult but worth it.
This is the rasionale solution.
Best of luck :-)
Was the demonstration of downloading the paper manufacturers profiles just that, how to do it, and if you calibrated the paper yourself, you wouldn't use them?
Great tutorial and tool but WAY too expensive! 😱
are you selling the device?
Is there a way I could do this without spending tons of money 😭
I use i1pro1 and my prints always comes out darker than the monitor but when I use "printer manages color" my prints come out very close to what I see on the monitor with slight color shift. This is more apparent when I print portrait but not in landscape. i1pro1 produces a more pleasing skin tone but darker print!!
Your monitor might be too bright.
@@kdo888 Monitor is calibrated to 120 cd/m2. What I don't understand is why when I let the printer to manage printing job, prints come out very close to the brightness of the monitor with slight color shift. With X_rite profiles prints are darker but colors are good. So if the monitor brightness is the issue prints from printer managed color should come out darker too!!
You should be calibrating your monitor to a maximum 120cd/m2. You may find that 100-110 cd/m2 is better for general editing environments. Dark prints almost always means your monitor is too bright.
I use 80 cd/m2, which helps brighten my prints, and my ambient light of the room dictated that I needed to be at 80 cd/m2. I tried the settings Jared said but they don’t work for me so I tweaked them.
With your device you should have ambient light measurement attachment. While calibrating your display in the step where are you choosing brightness values instead of fixed value like that 120cd/m2 as you did choose instead to measure ambient light and you will get the recommendation based on that measurement.
But yes, as guys before me said your monitor is too bright and 120cd/m2 is maximum value. This parameter definitely is tied with ambient light and the ability of your display how much it can go low with brightness so you might check that for the monitor you own. If your monitor can't go bellow some value let's say like 120cd/m2 and based on your ambient light measurement 80cd/m2 is recommended in that case don't use some software to fake that brightness. Instead improve the light quality in your working environment so next ambient light measurement can give you approx 120cd/m2 for example.

ALL THAT AND WE DIDNT EVEN GET TO SEE THE END RESULTS 🤨
someone calibrated my epson SC 800 printer using same charts and same xtrite machine, and results were a crap useless icc profile.

READING THE COMMENT below, i keep thinking that , the we are sorrounding by lot of people that promise something that now still doesent append, and after years of reading, testing, studing, all these tutorial , books, manul, and buying several disposals, to cereate profiles, and using different software.. we are far far away from what you said: to have the same color in the monitor and the paper. far away.
ffs I printed the three sheets only to find out i dont have the device... change the title of the video
This is a bit too advanced for little ol me
1:30 in and already you've gone over this "Profile" thing repeatedly about 3-5 times. I'm hoping you get to the point soon, we're not 3 years old we don't need the same thing repeating over and over. Sorry but this is frustrating, especially when you've already explained what a profile is, and we need to set one up. But you're still going over and over and over it.
For the low low price of $1,300, you have a small chance of your prints matching your monitor.
