i1 Process Control assembles X-Rite's industry proven suite of Color management and control technologies into a single, easy-to-use solution for Canon printers using L*a*b* and spectral formats. The software's simplified interface allows users to build ICC profiles for both display and CMYK output devices. In addition to ICC technology, i1 Process Control incorporates spot-color palette building tools. These tools provide additional color control required to get the highest quality reproduction of your Pantone® and custom spot color libraries. Finally, i1 Process Control includes either FOGRA™ or SWOP™ and GRACoL™ verification bars to help Canon recognize if there process and workflow is consistent with printing standards.
Color Management
Profile Canon imagePRESS Devices to ensure that the product prints color reliably and to meet expectations of color accuracy. Customize your process to deliver consistent color results on different media
Utilize the full color capabilities of your device
Advanced profiling option provide control for advanced users
Customizable profiling pre-sets makes it easy for users to pick the correct settings
Display and print calibration allows print users to better forecast output color
Spot-Color Management
Create libraries of spot colors and generate simulation recipes for use in DTP applications and in the Canon RIP
Create custom spot-matching palettes for Pantone® and custom libraries
Share spot color palettes with CS3 applications or use them direction in the print driver software (digital front end)
Exceed the spot color matching capabilities of conventional ICC workflow
User definable matching tolerance provides color matching that best fits your business needs
Although this solution includes very advanced ICC profile creation features, verification and optimization algorithms, it has been carefully designed to provide an easy and intuitive application that can be used on a daily basis with minimal effort.
The i1 Process Control solution emphasizes the important role of Canon's imagePRESS technology in the Pre-Press markets to deliver consistent color and extremely reliable digital proofs. In order to meet this goal, the solution provides the following important fundamental areas:
Simulation (of spot colors)
Verification (of digital proofing reliability)
It also allows the user to apply the following profiling technology:
Monitor*
Printer* (CMYK)
*An i1 Pro spectrophotometer is necessary to provide the measurement capabilities.
