Just got the iOne Monitor package to evaluate as a replacement for an aging
X-Rite DTP92 and ColorBlind's ProveIt software. When going through the
steps in the Gretag software, I noticed that the sliders for brightness and
RGB seem to jump around a lot. I mean...a lot. I had to make a guess as to
where to set the RGB guns and brightness based on where the sliders hovered
most of the time. Is this normal behavior or have I maybe got a bunk
instrument? The profiles created with the iOne don't seem to be as accurate
as those made with the X-Rite/ProveIt combo...at least as far as matching
or SWOP proofs. They seem dark, contrasty, and red. This is interesting as
I've heard such good things regarding the iOne package.
As a related question, is there any reason for the far fewer number of
patches the iOne reads when creating a monitor profile? The ProveIt
software takes 93 different readings (I didn't bother to count the number
that the Gretag iOne software uses). I've noticed a similar discrepancy
with Profile City's ICC Display (fewer patches). Is reading 93 patches
overkill? The one thing I like about both the iOne and the ICC Display
software is the method used to set brightnes levels (other software
probably does this as well). Those ridiculous squares in ProveIt
are...well, ridiculous! I'm looking forward to evaluating Colorvision's
products.
