NEW: Advanced Color Calibration (Part 2)
Our advanced color calibration targets are based on the ISO Norm 12641-2. After final checking, this new standard was released by the ISO in December 2019. We now provide targets according to the new design with significantly more measuring fields. Due to the increased number of measurement points, the new Part 2 Target is capable of calculating an even larger color spectrum. Thus, less data is generated by the color profile because more measurement data is readily available, which results in increased Target accuracy.
UNTIL NOW: Standard Color Calibration (Part 1)
The IT8 Part 1 standard color calibration calculates a scanner’s individual color profile according to the 12641-1 Norm. It uses only the most important measurement points on the color table, while utilizing a smaller measuring field. Standard color calibration employs intelligent algorithms, which provide for increased color fidelity via the use of individual color profiles.
You have the Choice
Whichever calibration you choose is of course entirely up to you. We assume that both parts will be in use for a certain transition period before Part 2 asserts itself due to the higher accuracy. You can switch to the new Part 2 targets today or later – SilverFast (from version 8.8.0r11) can use both targets for calibration.
