The iO table idiosyncrasies is hell. It is beyond me how what you describe is true but it is sadly the case. Looks like the ideal instrument still does not exist. Perhaps the iSis2, with M1 capabilities? As for the IT8.7/3, it has a lot less black samples than the .7/4. / Roger -----Original Message----- From: colorsync-users-bounces+graxx=videotron.ca@lists.apple.com [mailto:colorsync-users-bounces+graxx=videotron.ca@lists.apple.com] On Behalf Of Mike Stewart Sent: 10 août 2015 14:48 To: colorsync-users <colorsync-users@lists.apple.com> Subject: Need a little input Hello there; One more question - this one regarding IT8 images (swatches). I happen to be working on a series of "workarounds" with xRite and CGS Oris. I'm wanting to build colour hotfolders within the newest version CGS Oris Press Matcher (to colour manage an Indigo Press). I am using the xRite i1i0 scanning table with the i1Pro2. I've gone this route because of the M1 measurement capabilities. Seems as if CGS can make use of the IT8-74 (1620 swatches) to use within the RIP software; but CGS cannot use the i1i0 scanning table with the i1Pro2 with their newest version of Certified Web. xRite cannot measure the IT8-74 (1620 swatches) with their i1Profiler version 1.6.1 software; but can measure the IT8-73 (928 swatches). I can import the IT8-73 file into CGS Certified Web to ensure my proofs are accurate. My question is this: Is there going to much difference between creating a colour table using 1620 swatches and one using 928 swatches. If I could use the 928 swatches (IT8-73) it would make my life a lot easier; but I do not want to compromise colour in any way. Finally; I cannot believe that xRite cannot read/measure the IT8-74 (1620 swatches) formatted by themselves for the i1i0 scanning table and the i1Pro2. I have left that ugly little bug with their service/support dept. Thanks - Mike Stewart
