Benefits/Features

1. Elegant and Functional Hardware Design

An attractive addition to any digital darkroom, the Datacolor Spectrocolorimeter 1005 is designed for proper hand placement and easy measurement of targets.

2. Fast and Accurate

All new LED optics and electronic components support faster and more accurate measurements allowing you to create new profiles in less than five minutes with standard targets.

3. Plug and Play Operation

Using a convenient USB connection for power and communication, the Datacolor 1005 lets you get up and running quickly. The USB mini-connector cable is the same cable used by digital cameras

4. Easy to Use

The PrintFIX PRO software is a stand alone application that uses a friendly wizard to walk you through each phase of the profiling process. Each screen has clear directions, illustrations, and controls to make the profiling process very easy. You do not have to be a color guru to get gallery quality prints.

5. A Printing Primer AND Comprehensive On-Screen Help

Help so good our users tell us we should charge extra for it. More than help, the PrintFIX PRO on-screen help is actually a primer on how to get great prints. At every step of the process – from printer check, media selection, or profile creation – comprehensive help with illustrations and examples are available to you. Help is provided for every kind of user – from novice to expert.

6. Integrated Print Quality and Media Settings Check

No profile will be accurate if your printer is not set up correctly. A unique feature in PrintFIX PRO helps you verify the correct operation of your printer by checking for clogged or empty ink channels or other colorant problems. A similar function helps you determine the correct media setting to choose from your printer driver.

7. Unique Ambient PreciseLight™ Viewing Controls

PrintFIX PRO lets you adjust profile settings to optimize your print based on where and how it will be displayed by allowing you to preview and adjust to different ambient lighting conditions.

8. Support of High-bit, High Resolution Profiles

In addition to standard 8 bit profiles, PrintFIX PRO also supports 16 bit, high resolution profile. Providing higher resolution profiles allows you to faithfully reproduce even the most subtle elements of your work.

9. Print Preview and Profile Adjustment

Now it’s easy to preview your results on a single sheet of paper. Compare different rendering intents or profile adjustments until you are completely satisfied. PrintFIX PRO lets you print up to four different variations in separate quadrants of a single sheet of paper.

10. Additional color charts for dye-sublimation printers and for printing directly onto CDs

Also included are color charts that will enable you to print on the smallest possible format of dye-sublimation printers. You will also find round charts for printing labels onto CDs.
