Measure with i1Pro3

You can measure color patches on a page using the i1Pro3 spectrophotometer.

When you select the i1Pro3 as your measurement method, you can set the instrument settings:

Measurement mode - Select the type of measurement that you want. You measure each strip in one pass.
- M0 - One pass, UV included
- M1 - One pass, D50, UV included
- M2 - One pass, UV cut
Measure with ruler (default) - The positioning sensor on the underside of the i1Pro3 reads the stripes on the ruler to determine the position of the i1Pro3, so you must use the backup board with the ruler to guide the i1Pro3 along the strip. The use of the ruler is required for strip measurement in two passes.
Patch size - Choose from the available patch sizes: Normal (Default), Medium, and Large. If Large is selected, larger patches are printed to allow for better measurements with a low-resolution printer. The measurement method is the same for all patches regardless of patch size.
Measure without ruler - If this option is selected, large patches can be measured without using the backup board with the ruler.

When a page has been successfully measured, you can check the measurements. If any measurements are not as expected, you can remeasure the strip.

Place the patch page on a smooth, even surface.
If you have a backup board and ruler for measuring patch pages, position the patch page correctly.

Note: With the i1Pro3, be sure to use the ruler if you selected the option to use the ruler when you printed the patch pages.
When the screen indicates that the i1Pro3 is measuring, place the i1Pro3 in the white space above or below the strip specified on the screen.
Note: You can switch from scan measurements to scan to spot measurements, and back to scan measurements as a per row decision for both a chart and a wedge.
Hold down the button and slide the i1Pro3 along the strip of patches slowly and at an even pace.
Release the button when the i1Pro3 reaches the white space at the end.
After you successfully measure one strip of patches, move the i1Pro3 to the white space at the beginning of the next strip.
Continue to measure the remaining strips in the same manner until you have measured all patches on the page.
Continue to measure the remaining patch pages (if any) in the same manner until you have measured all patch pages.
After you measure the last page, click Next.
