Professional Profiling Solution for Accurate Color
Total Profiling Solution for the Colour Control You Need
MonacoPROOF is the choice of digital color professionals for creating high quality ICC profiles for all devices — monitors, scanners and printers. This fully integrated profiling solution has an intuitive, wizard-like interface that quickly and easily steps you through the process of profiling every device in your workflow. MonacoPROOF's powerful features and exceptional profile quality provide a great value for reprographic shops, photographic labs, commercial photographers, print shops and creative professionals.
MonacoPROOF requires an instrument for profiling the monitor and the output device. See supported devices below.
How it works:
Reliable color quality requires accurate profiles for all the devices in your workflow:
Step 1: Using a colorimeter or a spectrophotometer, attach the instrument to your monitor, and use the wizard-like interface to create a monitor profile for your CRT or LCD in less than 5 minutes.
Step 2: Create a profile for your scanner or digital camera using the appropriate target. Scan, crop the the target, and name!
Step 3: Choose a target patch set and print it using your output device. Measure the patch set with a spectrophotometer. MonacoPROOF creates the profile, and allows you to control the ink limiting and black generation
Step 4: MonacoPROOF provides advanced editing options to adjust the lightness, saturation and output curves.
Features and Benefits: Output profiling for your RGB and CMYK devices including photographic and inkjet printers, colour copiers, film recorders, proofing systems and presses. Using device profiles, you can simulate final press output using your output device and save time, resources and money.
Ink Limiting Features allow you to control the maximum amount of black and total ink. Neutralize paper color to remove any effect the paper colour tint may have on color reproduction. Profile editing gives you the ability to fine tune your profiles using luminance, saturation, and output curves. Soft proof and print your edits using any image. Soft Proofing requires an accurately profiled monitor. Using MonacoPROOF's wizard-like interface, you can create profiles for your monitors, both CRT and LCD. Profile your scanner and other input devices. Use the reflective (included) or transmissive IT8 target to profile your input devices.
