Xrite i1iSis XL with OBC

Your time is valuable. If you spend it measuring charts, consider the i1iSis with optical brightening compensation — the incredibly fast, automatic chart reader for high-production, high volume custom printer profiles.

In high production environments like photo processing, large format, fine art, and high speed digital printing, measuring colour test charts to keep your colour management profiles up-to-date can be a labour intensive and time consuming process. The i1iSis family of automatic chart readers sets a new standard in terms of speed, accuracy and handling — allowing you more time to focus on taking care of your customers.

i1iSis XL allows you to measure an A3+ test chart with up to 2,500 patches, which can be printed on a single A3 page. Scans A3+ and tabloid size charts, reading thousands of patches in less than 10 minutes.

Because it is built on the award-winning i1 spectral technology, you'll capture the full spectral data of the charts you measure, assuring the most accurate measurements and profiles. In a single chart measurement cycle you can read both UVcut and measurements with NoFilter. i1iSis is a perfect complement to the i1 family of solutions, especially high-end applications like professional photo and proofing where consistency of measurements from instrument to instrument is mission critical.

Colour management has caused an explosion of opportunities for new and exotic inks, a variety of paper and substrates and new applications for those materials. i1iSis is a logical extension of the digital colour workflow, giving you the ability to quickly provide colour support for any media, any printer, anywhere. Meet the creative demand for the latest applications quickly and easily: measure your charts and create profiles in just minutes, for any scenario, with the i1iSis!
