Hello Dan, thank you for pointing out that scanner profiling is NOT a
feature of i1 Publish Pro. We had failed to notice that fact. We've
good success profiling our scanners with Monaco Profiler Platinum and
were disappointed to learn that capability is not a part of i1 Publish
Pro. It's been our understanding that Monaco Profilier will not run
under Lion, so relying on it for doing scanner profiles won't be
possible after we migrate. Are we misunderstanding something on that
point? Of course we realize we could keep a workstation on Leopard
just to run Monaco Profiler for profiling our scanners, but if we do
that why bother upgrading at all?

Barry, while I am not personally using Lion yet I have several piers
and customers who are and can certainly speak to the feature set of
the new i1 Profiler software. X-Rite has completely rewritten the
software from the ground up using everything they've learned from
both MONACO Profiler and ProfileMaker packages. They have developed
an entirely new profiling engine called "Prism" that I feel
generates the best profiles of either package. You also get several
features that you didn't have with Profiler such as iteration and
verification (typically RIP features - but now you can iterate
without a RIP). I would suggest you upgrade for sure! Also, you
won't find any scanner profiling abilities in i1Profiler or digital
camera profiling (which is now being done in ColorChecker Passport
software that is included - but is only DNG profiles NOT iCC
profiles). You will still be able to run either MONACO Profiler or
ProfileMaker after you upgrade as both will still be licensed on your
dongle. Hope this helps and let me know if I can help further. Oh,
and you may want to check out our website i1upgrades.com which has
all the information about upgrading.

Hello,
For the past several years we've been very happy users of Monaco
Profiler Platinum v4.7 running on a PowerMac G5 under Mac OS 10.5.8.
It appears however if we "upgrade" to a MacPro running Mac OS 10.7
(Lion) our old Monaco application will no longer be supported. Thus
we're considering "upgrading" from Monaco Profiler 4.7 to X-Rites i1
Publish Pro to run under OS 10.7 and are wondering if anyone on this
list has made a similar transition? And if so would you be willing to
share how it's worked out for you? Does the newer i1 Publish Pro
produce profiles of equal or superior quality to those from Monaco
Profiler? Any other "user experience" comments would also be welcome.
Thanks in advance.
