Backlit displays are now used for everything from trade show booths, POP retail displays, event banners and even interior décor. To achieve a consistent and accurate colour on a variety of backlit materials and wide format signage, printers need spectrophotometers capable of characterising both the sample material and the light that shines through it. The i1Pro 3 Plus colour measurement instrument from X-Rite and Pantone are now here to support automated transmission profiling with the i1iO chart reading system, with the release of i1Profiler v3.3 software.
Using the combined iPro 3 Plus with i1iO table, wide-format, signage and industrial printers can quickly and easily automate the creation of ICC profiles for film, textiles, vinyl, paper and other materials used in backlit signage applications. The i1Pro 3 Plus simultaneously measures M0, M1, and M2 in a single pass while accounting for optical brighteners and supports transmission scanning for backlit displays. It also offers a new polarisation filter that reduces specular highlights and shadows on fabrics and ceramics.
