Take your vision to colour perfection with ColorMunki Photo
As a photographer you know perfect colour is essential. But with today's complex digital imaging workflows, getting colours to match between devices can appear to be a challenge. Stop wasting ink, paper, and valuable time with trial and error colour correction, and enjoy the benefits of precise colour from the beginning.

ColorMunki Photo – software and hardware colour control solution provides the functionality to calibrate your monitors, projectors and printers, so the colour you see on screen is the colour you get in print. The hardware device is completely integrated and the powerful, self-guided ColorMunki Photo software offers two modes: easy and advanced. Select "match my printer to my display" and you'll be completely guided through the profiling process for both your display and your printer. Or you can easily jump right to display, projector or printer profiling. The ColorMunki Photo all-in-one spectrophotometer is the only device you need.

Intuitive RGB and CMYK printer profiling technology delivers a high quality profile in a fraction of the time. Simply scan one 50-patch test chart, and your X-Rite ColorMunki Photo software will learn the colour behaviour of your printer. It will then dynamically generate a second chart of 50 patches. Print and scan this second chart and your profile is generated! ColorMunki Photo software is so smart it even has the ability to optimize your profile based on images for specific colours, black & white, flesh tones, etc.

Not sure what to do with your profile after you create it? No worries. With AppSet™, ColorMunki Photo software talks with your photo and design applications – including Adobe® Photoshop® CS3, Adobe® InDesign® CS3/4, QuarkXPress® 8, CorelDRAW® Graphics Suite X4, and Corel® Painter™ – and integrates them automatically.

Let your artistic side go wild with X-Rite ColorMunki Photo!
Put control of your image library at your fingertips and automatically extract colours from any image. Or go directly into an image and drag any colour you can see to create a custom colour palette. ColorMunki Photo software also lets you grab colour from virtually any substrate with the easy spot colour measurement function. Then, when you're ready to use your custom palette, automatically synchronize it with CorelDRAW® Graphics Suite X4, Corel® Painter™X, or any of your Creative Suite applications, including InDesign®, Illustrator® and QuarkXpress® 8. Custom palettes can also be imported into any of your other favourite photo and design applications.

With X-Rite ColorMunki's PrintSafe™, you can preview your colour palettes under different lighting sources and evaluate your printing process. Think of the money you'll save by catching out-of-gamut colours BEFORE you go to production!
