New Small Test Chart technology
With this new technology, you can quickly and easily create a profile by reading just a few rows of color swatches from your printer. This "small test chart" technology uses a revolutionary, patent-pending approach which combines an internal pre-linearization and creation of a virtual large test chart. We then apply the most sophisticated profiling techniques to fine tune the gray axis. The resulting profile is based solely on perceptual rendering — the ideal solution for entry level color management.
