Summary of "i1Profiler: Advanced Printer Profiling"
Video Summary
The video on i1Profiler: Advanced Printer Profiling discusses the comprehensive features of the i1 Profiler software for profiling CMYK and RGB output devices. Key points include:
- Device Selection: Users can select from various printer types (RGB, CMYK, or CMYK plus additional colors) and must choose the correct color space based on their printer's capabilities.
- Patch Set Characteristics: Users define the number of patches for profiling, with options for optimizing the balance of CMY and K inks. A larger number of patches may enhance accuracy but requires more printing and measuring.
- Total Ink Coverage: The software allows users to set maximum ink coverage based on printer recommendations to avoid over-inking issues.
- linearization tool: The i1 Profiler offers a linearization tool for optimizing inks before printing test charts, which is essential for accurate profiling.
- Measurement Process: After creating a test chart, users measure the printed patches using compatible measurement devices. The software provides real-time feedback on expected versus measured values.
- Profile Settings: Users can customize settings for how files will be separated into different ink channels. This includes options for black ink usage, intelligent black settings, and perceptual rendering options.
- Profile Creation: After defining settings and measuring patches, users can build their ICC profiles, with options for saving settings and data for future use.
- Advanced Features: The video highlights advanced settings for smoothness, chromatic adaptation, and ICC profile version compatibility.
- Training Resources: Additional training modules are available for deeper learning on linearization, OBC profiling, and color checker proofing.
