Large Format Printing

Color consistency across various printing technologies and substrates

Digital printing in general, and inkjet printing technology in particular, allows us to print on a wide variety of substrates.

This technology is provided by dozens of different machine manufacturers using different inks, print speeds, and other factors that affect the result.

Machine and substrate vendors try to help by providing what are called "generic ICC profiles" that are supposed to produce pleasing colors.

But they cannot compensate for variations caused by differences in printheads, ink loads, or similar but different substrates.

Without an accurate characterization of your presses, it's also impossible to move jobs to different presses for reprints without accepting huge color shifts.

A spectrophotometer like the MYIRO-1 gives you the ability to objectively judge whether these differences will be visible and possibly cause complaints from your customers. It also allows you to objectively match colors against a reference, eliminating trial and error. As a result, you save material, time, energy and ultimately money.

Characterization of printer behaviour

The spectrophotometer combined with a software solution allows you to perform printer calibration (linearization and profiling). In addition, it allows you to regularly check color deviations. Now you can objectively judge when the printer calibration needs to be updated. If your RIP already has calibration and profiling capabilities, check if it has a driver for MYIRO-1 or MYIRO-9 . If not, MYIROtools creates standard profiles which can be used in every ICC-compliant RIP.

The combination of MYIRO-1 and MYIROtools outperformed other products in a recent field study.

High-End Profiler

An accurate printer profile is the key to taking full advantage of your inkjet printer's color gamut and improving your output.

The MYIRO Profiler delivers outstanding results in terms of accuracy, contrast preservation, vividness and gray balance neutrality.

It doesn't matter if your machines use RGB, CMYK or Multicolor as input. MYIRO Profiler delivers perfect results right out of the box.

Even if you use a RIP to drive your machine, MYIROtools ICC profiles can be uploaded to most existing software on the market.

Color Measurements made Easy

Operators do not have time to learn complicated operating procedures to measure color.

The MYIRO-9 can be operated by anyone from anywhere and is the perfect tool in your production room.

The MYIRO-1 can be used anywhere in the production room to measure charts in a stress-free environment.

Intuitive Quality Control

Quality Control in a production environment needs to help operators to decide necessary steps.

The QC features of MYIROtools help to check if the print-outs are in tolerance with

  • ISO 12647-7:2016 Contract Proof tolerances
  • ISO 12647-8:2009 Validation Print tolerances
  • FOGRA PSD PrintCheck set of tolerances

Based on possible pass/fail result the production manager can easily decide which adjustments are necessary and take appropriate actions in MYIROtools.

To communicate the print quality to your customers you can choose to create a PDF or print a label.
