Dear Friends
The WMU Profiling Review is a unique document that ranks profile making
software from 9 vendors. The review evaluates the quality of scanner
profiles, monitor profiles and printer profiles.
Contents of the review
The review covers profiles made with many products - Heidelberg
ScanOpen/PrintOpen, ColorBlind, GretagMacbeth ProfileMaker, FujiFilm
ColourKit, Monaco Profiler, Kodak Colorflow, ColorSynergy, X-Rite ColorShop
and Apple ColorSync Calibrator. The review provides an evaluation on the
basis of the colorimetric intent only.
The review evaluates the quality of scanner profiles, monitor profiles and
printer profiles. It also compares old and new software (e.g. GretagMacbeth
3.0 vs 4.0, also Monaco 3.0 and 4.0).
Fading test data is presented for HP Designjet 20ps and Epson Stylus Pro
5000 inkjet printers.
Version history
Version 1.0 Released April 1, 2002. Covered scanner profiles and monitor
profiles.
Version 1.1 Released April 9, 2002. Maintenance release to amend one
numerical result.
Version 2.0 Released July 1, 2002. Now covers printer profiles and new
software products. Version 2 includes all the results of the earlier
versions.
To get a copy
Version 2.0 was sent automatically to all those on who requested an earlier
version of the review. New subscribers can get the review free by sending me
an e-mail with 3WMU Profiling Review2 in the subject line.
Next update
The review is updated and released twice a year on July 1 and January 1. I
plan to extend the review and include new vendors and new products. If you
have any suggestions for the next review on January 1, 2003, let me know.
The product from Color Solutions called basICColor arrived too late to be
included in this review. A number of people wanted to see Profile City in
the review, but Profile City did not send me their product.
