Download: i1Profiler (i1Publish) Version: 1.7.1. Previous Version: 1.7.0. Release Date: 5/30/2017. File Type: PC - EXE File, Mac - ZIP File. Download: PC Version Mac Version. Notes: This update to i1Profiler is a bug-fix release to fix the following issues: The print button was not working when trying to make RGB printer profiles.
Color science company X-Rite Inc. has interesting news on a couple of fronts today, launching several new products and announcing its acquisition by Danaher Corp.
Ours shipped with X-Rite i1Profiler V1.1.1 (and included Pantone Color Manager during the install). Upgrades and support information for the product are available here. The program self-updates to the latest version when you start it up, and we recommend you do this the first time you run the software. Launch the i1Profiler software, ensure Basic is selected in the bottom right, then click Display Profiling at the top left. Select a monitor from the list, ensure White Point is set to CIE Illuminant D65, then for Luminance select Measure. Click Measure to determine the suggested luminance, then click Keep Measurement to use those settings. X-Rite have just released an update to their i1Profiler software which takes it to version 1.2. I1Profiler is the software that comes with the i1 Display Pro, i1 Basic Pro, i1 Photo Pro, i1 Publish. If you already have a version of i1Profiler on your system you should receive an automatic update window. Simply activate that update and the new software version will be downloaded and installed. This new version of the software drives both the i1Pro and the i1Display Pro devices. Now let’s get down to what’s new inside i1Profiler v 1.1.1.
Of the four new products, three are based around an updated spectrophotometer, the i1Pro 2. Compared to the earlier i1Pro, the new version has a dual-illuminant design that allows tungsten, D50 and UV cut measurements and optical brightener compensation, with a single device and no filters. It also features a positioning sensor that allows measurement of smaller patch sizes, and is said to have better temperature stability and the ability to handle higher brightness levels. A new physical design brings improved ergonomics and a status LED that guides users through the calibration process, as well as improved dust protection thanks to a new self-cleaning aperture protection glass and calibration white tile cover. There's also built-in calibration and self-diagnostic functionality in the i1Pro 2.
On the software side, i1Profiler v1.3 adds support for the i1Pro 2 spectrophotometer, reduces the default patch size to 7mm, adds new measurement workflows, white-point editing and Russian language support, and improves handling of third-party printer test charts, CMYK+n profile generation, and the CGATS reading module, among other changes. This new software is available without the i1Pro 2 spectrophotometer as part of the i1Publish bundle. The three kits including the i1Pro 2 are i1Basic Pro 2 (monitor and projector profiling), i1Photo Pro 2 (adds RGB printer profiling), and i1Publish Pro 2 (adds CMYK printer profiling). Pricing is set at around US$1,200 for i1Basic Pro 2, US$1,550 for i1Photo Pro 2, and US$2,100 for i1Publish Pro 2. The i1Publish kit without spectrophotometer costs about US$1,100, and anywhere up to a US$600 discount is available for customers upgrading from earlier X-Rite profiling products, as detailed on the company's website.
At the same time as the new products, X-Rite has also announced its acquisition by Danaher Corp., at a purchase price of around US$625 million. Danaher Corp. employs around 59,000 people worldwide, and has divisions in five main areas: Test & Measurement, Environmental, Dental, Life Sciences & Diagnostics, and Industrial Technologies. More details in the releases on X-Rite and Danaher's websites.

Press Release
X-Rite Announces New i1Pro 2 Professional Color Management Solutions for Photo, Pre-press, Publishing and Digital Printing Markets
New solutions include all-new second-generation i1Pro spectrophotometer delivering increased accuracy, ease of use and expanded professional level feature set
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., (April 11, 2012) – X-Rite, Incorporated (NASDAQ: XRIT), the world leader in color management, measurement and communication technologies, today announces its new portfolio of i1 Professional Color Management Solutions which now include a newly redesigned i1Pro 2 spectrophotometer.
Built upon the success of X-Rite’s i1Pro spectrophotometer as the de facto industry standard for more than a decade, the newly enhanced i1Pro 2 device has been redesigned to provide an even higher level of accuracy, versatility, ergonomics, functionality and value. Combined with the recently released i1Profiler software v1.3, which accommodates all levels of proficiency and expertise, the new i1Pro 2 portfolio of four different products is specifically targeted to meet the unique needs of photo, pre-press, digital print and publishing professionals, providing exceptional value at very attractive price points.
This new portfolio, comprised of X-Rite’s i1Basic Pro 2, i1Photo Pro 2, i1Publish Pro 2 and i1Publish products feature groundbreaking new technology and applications. Each Pro solution includes the new i1Pro 2 second generation spectrophotometer – the most accurate and forward thinking device available today accommodating three measurement modes in one single device. These modes include the most commonly used M0 (Standard Illuminant A), the emerging M1 (illuminant D50) and M2 (known as UV-cut). Also included are i1Profiler, X-Rite’s entirely new next generation color profiling software, PANTONE Color Manager color swatch bridging software and ColorChecker Camera Calibration software.
“Exceptionally accurate color measurement and calibration remain basic building blocks for professional-level workflow,” commented Vic Stalam, X-Rite’s Senior Vice President Sales & Marketing. “Nowhere is repeatable, predictive color management more critical than in the highIy connected and forward-looking graphic arts, publishing, digital printing and photography markets that make up the core Imaging market customer base for X-Rite. With the introduction of these new products, X-Rite once again delivers to color professionals around the world the products they need that incorporate important emerging color standards.”
About Next Generation i1Pro Spectrophotometer
The i1Pro 2 spectrophotometer introduces a new level of color accuracy, delivering increased ease of use and an expanded professional level feature set, including supporting the latest developments in industry measurement standards. i1Pro 2 solutions are sure to maximize profitability and minimize wasted time, ink and paper, while delivering the confidence that the user’s digital workflow is perfectly and professionally calibrated and profiled.
New i1Pro 2 spectrophotometer highlights:
New illuminant design allows for 3 standard measurement conditions (ISO 13655 M0: Tungsten; ISO 13655 M1: D50; ISO 13655 M2: UV Cut) plus Optical Brightener Compensation (OBC) without changing filters or needing a second instrument.
Enhanced Optical Brightener Compensation allows for the most accurate profiling (both Tungsten and UV/LED mode) for today’s enhanced range of substrates. Now users can predict what colors printed on optically brightened paper will look like under different light conditions using a single hand-held device.
Positioning Detection with Zebra Sensor provides a more robust scanning experience even on special substrates and low-resolution printers. It allows for the measurement of smaller patch sizes (as low as 7mm) in manual mode and enables dual measurement workflows for OBC, M1 and M2.
New Wizard-driven interface with status LED leads users through the profiling and calibration process while providing all the options and control desired, regardless of expertise.
New Design Ergonomics throughout allows for greater usability, flexibility, cleaning, protection, and storage of the precision i1Pro 2 device.
Improved Emissive Measurement allows for better temperature stability and higher brightness levels resulting in the best possible calibration and profiling of monitors ever.
All new diagnostics and self-correction features
Wavelength calibration LED allows for self diagnosis of optical grating in relation to sensor during white calibration (with automatic correction and notifications)Maintaining and protecting the device (and investment) is easier than ever
Self-cleanable aperture protection glass and calibration white tile cover provides additional built-in protection from dust and dirt.
