MonacoPROFILER
Professional Profiling Solution with Expert Color Control

The Professional's Choice for Color Profile Creation
MonacoPROFILER is the ideal choice for high quality graphic arts professionals, including service bureaus, newspapers, large print vendors, fine art reproduction studios, high-end commercial photographers and all high quality print shops requiring support for up to 8-color presses. It offers the most comprehensive ICC profiling solution available for all your devices - monitors, scanners, digital cameras and printers. MonacoPROFILER's integrated solution provides complete control for creating and editing the highest quality profiles available.

How it works:
The best color quality requires accurate profiles for all devices in your work flow:

Step 1: Attach a colorimeter or a spectrophotometer to your monitor, and use the wizard-like interface to create a profile for your CRT or LCD in less than 5 minutes.
The instrument will optimize the brightness level to achieve maximum dynamic range.

Step 2: Create a profile for your scanner or digital camera using the appropriate target. Scan, crop the target, and name! Determine profile quality and accuracy with detailed statistics.

Step 3: Select a target patch from an extensive list, and print it using your output device. Measure the patch set using a spectrophotometer. MonacoPROFILER creates the profile, and allows you to control the ink limiting, black generation, and advanced UCR/GCR.

Step 4: Control the quality of your output profile with expert editing features. Use curves to adjust lightness, saturation and channel output. The more advanced selective color and fine-tuning tools provide ultimate color control.

Step 5: You are now ready to use your profiles in ICC-compliant applications and digital proofing systems. Optimise your output to photographic and inkjet output devices!

Produce digital proofs using output device to simulate final press output, saving time, resources and money. Create ICC link profiles for the ultimate device simulation.

Create superior profiles
Using advanced black genereation, paper color neutralization and advanced limiting features

Average multiple patch sets to generate output profiles.

Solve problems with device drift using relinearization feature. Take a few quick measurements and easily rebuild profiles.

Edit output profiles using the most advanced features available and save our images in TIFF or DCS 2.0 format directly from the editor with your profiles applied.

Profile your digital camera in a studio setting using the GretagMacbeth ColorChecker DC target. MonacoPROFILER's lightness feature allows you to quickly bracket the exposure using profiles. Also includes expanded target support for creating scanner profiles.

Multi-ink Profiling
