How to compare spectrophotometers

Fons Put works as senior innovation consultant for VIGC, the Flemish Innovation Center for Graphic Communication. His contribution refers to the new colour measuring equipment (eXact from X-Rite) that WAN-IFRA has chosen for the evaluations for the International Newspaper Color Quality Club 2014–2016 contest.

Here is Fons Put’s comment:

In order to help some newspaper publishers to evaluate their instruments, I created a worksheet were they can compare spectrophotometers. Our first impressions:

  • The i1PRO1 resembles the best WAN-IFRA measurements of the Cuboid with the X-Rite eXact.
  • The i1PRO2 (XRGA) has a different response, we’re not advising this for INCQC measurements.
  • The old i1PRO1 (revision AB) gives the same response as the newer i1PRO1 (revision D).

If you like to see the figures, take a look at the spreadsheet:
