X-Rite i1Pro 2 spectrophotometers The X-Rite i1Basic Pro 2, i1Photo Pro 2, and i1Publish Pro 2 are low-cost spectrophotometers. If purchasing new for use with the display, HP recommends that you purchase the i1Basic Pro 2, as the i1Photo Pro 2 and i1Publish Pro 2 contain additional software and equipment that are not required for display calibration. As with the X-Rite i1Display colorimeter, the instrument comes with associated software on an optical disc. HP recommends that you install the software, as it is required to calibrate the instrument before use with the display. Configuration The i1Pro 2 should be calibrated prior to use using the X-Rite software. Consult the product user guide for more information. Usage guidelines Please note the following tips and guidelines when using the X-Rite i1 Pro 2 with the display: ● The display may take up to 15 seconds after instrument connection to display the first calibration menu. This is normal for this instrument. ● This instrument should be mounted in the included display holder when used with the display. Adjust the counterweight so that the instrument is in contact with the display panel. X-Rite i1Display Pro colorimeter X-Rite's i1DisplayPro is a low-cost measurement instrument that is available at retail. While the instrument comes with profiling software on an optical disc, the software does not need to be installed in order to calibrate the display since the i1Display instrument is connected directly to the display. IMPORTANT: HP strongly recommends against the use of the included X-Rite software with the display, as it will perform a host-based profile of the display and not a full display calibration. Configuration No configuration is required for the i1Display Pro instrument. The display will automatically load the required calibration matrix (EDR file) into the instrument when it is connected. Usage guidelines Please note the following tips and guidelines when using the X-Rite i1Display Pro with the display: ● The display may take up to five seconds after instrument connection to display the first calibration menu. This is normal for this instrument. ● This instrument should be used in direct connection mode with the counterweight adjusted to maintain the instrument position during calibration. ● HP recommends that calibration be conducted in a dimly lit environment. ● The ambient light filter must be rotated away from the instrument lens prior to measurements being made. If it is left in place, measurement errors will occur. ● The i1Display Pro has an error tolerance for factory calibration of each instrument. Visible calibration differences can occur if a different probe is used for each display. HP strongly recommends that a single i1Display Pro kit be used to calibrate all displays within a facility or workflow. 70 Chapter 3 Display calibration
