Transparencies can be measured with my SpectraShop (rmimaging.com/spectrashop.html) program if you have either an i1Pro or a Spectrolino. The measurements can be exported in a text format that can easily be edited into the format needed by the profiling software. Contact me off list for more information.

I'm not aware of any CMYK scanner targets nor CMYK scanner profiling software; it's all RGB. Monaco Profiler (Gold, Platinum) made extremely good scanner profiles, better than PM5 and the nearly identical i1Match scanner option. i1Profiler now makes scanner profiles--very good, and Silverfast has a profiling option as well. I've used all of these. But be aware that the software must support the particular target you have, and you must have the IT8 characterization file for the target, which is made by measuring it with a spectrophotometer. This is easily done with reflective targets, but transparencies require a special instrument, and normally the target manufacturer provides this file. Silverfast targets have an industry-standard layout and should be supported in most profiling applications. Make sure you download the IT8 file for the serial number range your target is in. If it's an old target that hasn't been stored properly (preferably refrigerated in a sealed bag) its color will no longer match the measurement data and should be replaced with a fresh one.

Hello All
I intend to procure the aforementioned scanner to run with included software on a G3 running OS 9.2. I own a silverfast 6x7 IT8 calibration target on Fujichrome Provia. Can anybody suggest means for color calibration?
Thanks
