Description

Designed specifically for photographers, the X-Rite ColorMunki Photo Colour Management Solution provides display, projector and RGB/CMYK printer profiling in an easy-to-use all-in-one integrated solution with a streamlined interface, enabling photographers to easily, quickly and affordably match colours from display to print. The ColorMunki Photo software provides particular accuracy when profiling for FleshTones along with providing excellent grey balance for neutral Black & White output. Plus, you'll be able to send your images to your clients with a high level of confidence that they are viewed in a calibrated environment with the DigitalPouch communication tool.

The Swiss-engineered ColorMunki spectrophotometer is a portable all-in-one device that provides Monitor, Projector & Printer Profiling, along with ambient light measurement and spot colour measurement without the need for any cumbersome accessories to repurpose the device; it even has a Built-in white calibration tile for self calibration. Think of it as a "Swiss Army Knife" of colour management.

You'll get precise monitor calibration using a basic mode with preconfigured settings or an advanced mode with settings for white point, ambient compensation and precalibration. It also has the ability to capture the ambient light within a room or a light box for an impressive level of colour calibration. The ColorMunki is even capable of fast and accurate projector profiling to project your images to your clients, family, or friends with colour confidence. It's RGB and CMYK printer profiling technology provides complete colour control along with optimised printer profiling, and has the ability to optimise specific colours, black & white shades, and flesh tones to ensure that the colour you see is the colour you get. Plus there is no need to read individual colour patches because ColorMunki's super fast printer profiling can rapidly scan test charts in less than one minute.

Furthermore, the ColorMunki software provides colour creation and communication tools that allow you to grab colours from virtually anywhere, including your entire image library, preview your colour palettes under different light sources and even preview for PrintSafe production under a variety of different printing methods.

Features

No Cumbersome Accessories Needed
The All-in-One design of the ColorMunki spectrophotometer means no separate accessories are needed to profile your displays and printers. A white calibration tile is integrated right into the device, and it includes a protective bag, which doubles as an integrated monitor holder.

Calibrate with Ease
Quick, easy, and accurate display-to-print matching is what the ColorMunki is all about. The included software guides you through whichever profiling function you desire. You can select "match my printer to my display" and you'll be completely guided through the profiling process, or you can easily jump right to display, projector or printer profiling.

Calibrate LCD & Laptop Computer Displays
The ColorMunki calibrates LCD & Laptop monitors using either the Easy or Advanced mode. The Easy mode has predetermined selections, so you don't need to be a colour expert. For those looking for more control over whitepoint or ambient measurements, choose the "advanced" mode. The DDC auto detect control will quickly determine if your monitor is compliant and if so, perform one button display profiling. ColorMunki can also calibrate multiple displays with ease, and provides before and after visualisation, as well as calibration reminder prompts.

Projector Profiling
Using Video projectors to display images has always been a hit-or-miss proposition in regards to colour accuracy. Utilising the same profiling technology for your computer display, and with just a flip of the devices selector wheel, ColorMunki will give you fast and accurate projector profiles so you can project your images to your client, family or friends with confidence.

Printer Profiling
The ColorMunki can profile RGB and CMYK printers, and delivers outstanding printer profile quality for print colour that matches what you see on your screen. You simply scan one test chart of 50 patches, and ColorMunki calculates an interim profile and learns how your printer behaves for these colours. It then produces a second chart that perfects your profile once you scan it. The ColorMunki even has the ability to optimise for specific colours, black & white, and flesh tones from individual image types. And the ColorMunki's super fast scanning capability can rapidly measure test charts in less than one minute, so you don't lose precious productivity time with the process of printer profiling.

Camera Profiling
With the X-Rite ColorChecker Camera Calibration software, you'll be able to use both a desktop application and an Adobe Lightroom Plug-In for creating custom DNG profiles

Colour Profile Management
ColorMunki includes software to help manage and fully utilise your colour profiles. ColorMunki's AppSet talks with your photo and design applications to automate printer profile setting, and with PrintSafe chequing capabilities, you'll be able to preview your colour palettes under different lighting sources or printing processes before you go to production.

Colour Extraction
ColorMunki can capture colours from virtually anywhere to enhance your editing and design creativity. It can automatically extract the top colours from any image or you can go directly into your image and add any colour to your palette. ColorMunki also lets you grab any colour from the visible spectrum - quickly and accurately capturing spectral colour from any surface and import it directly into your photo and design applications.

Communicate in Colour - Effortlessly
The ColorMunki optimises the shadows, highlights, and balance of your images, so no matter how you show your work, the world will see exactly what you intended. You'll share your images with confidence with DigitalPouch, a self-executable application that cheques for ViewSafe 1 conditions on the receiver side. Simply drag and drop the images you want to transport into the pouch and "zip" it up to send. The receiver will be able to view the images in the same application viewing screen, while the application looks for and verifies that an accurate, up-to-date monitor profile is in use. Amazingly, this assurance of viewer colour does not require the receiver to own any version of the ColorMunki software.

1 ViewSafe Image Transport runs on Mac and PC, and is compatible with Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign, and QuarkXPress
