Even problematic materials like very thin paper or curled media are measured reliably. Other chart readers were able to deliver the desired automation but were unable to fulfil all measurement tasks.įujifilm found that most devices lacked the mechanical stability demanded by an industrial photolab, while the FD-9 has proven to be extremely robust and easy to use during intensive daily usage. While versatile, handheld devices and xy-stages proved inefficient and prone to user errors.
The Fujifilm Imaging Photolabs in Europe have a great deal of experience with colour measurement tools.
In this demanding environment, the Konica Minolta Autoscan FD-9, combined with basICColor catch for measurement and control software and basICColor DeviL as the profiling software, turned out to be the most efficient solution in a thorough evaluation of several alternatives. The standardization of colour quality is usually done by experienced engineers while the quality control of the production run has to be done reliably by every operator.
Calibration and control processes have to be extremely fast and seamlessly integrated into the production environment which typically features different output systems plus a large variety of media and operators over several sites.Ī measurement system needs to be easy to use for operators of all levels.
Fujifilm Imaging is more than happy with the technical performance and economic efficiency resulting from their investment and expect to significantly streamline their set-up processes.Ī professional photolab makes the highest demands on colour measurement equipment colour quality and reproducibility are essential. The company has implemented the high-end basICColor DeviL software for profiling the printing systems, while basICColor catch is used for production and quality control. Only the FD-9 fulfilled the demanding requirements of a photolab, performing all measurement tasks while operators found it easy to use as well as fast, versatile, mechanically stable and accurate in day-to-day use. This includes most of the situations that need calibration screen.After a thorough evaluation of different systems, Fujifilm Imaging has equipped all of its European Photolabs with the Konica Minolta Autoscan Spectrophotometer FD-9 and basICColor software. The workflow is defined can be used with one click right from the start. BasICColor display is the premier application to calibrate the screen and configure the ICC has strongly improved in terms of ease of use and functionality.
In Mac OS versions 10.8.0 to 10.8.2, and Mac OS 10.7.5, support for monitor communications via DDC/CI is not functioning on some Macs, including systems with DVI video outputs, and when using a miniDisplayPort to DVI cable or adapter.
Mac OS software iZotope Neutron 3 Advanced V3.2.0. 5 pre-defined settings can be used with a mouse-click right from the start page. The 5th generation of the leading application for monitor calibration and ICC-profiling has been drastically improved in ease of use and functionality. It is a perfect match for the Design & Photo category. The latest version of basICColor display is 5.1 on Mac Informer.
