Overview

The X-Rite i1Basic Pro 3 is a professional-grade color management system designed for imaging specialists who demand absolute color accuracy across displays, projectors, and spot color measurements. Built on the trusted legacy of the i1Pro 2, the i1Pro 3 introduces a next‑generation spectral engine, improved accuracy, expanded measurement capability, and compliance with the latest ISO standards. Its full-spectrum LED light source allows single‑pass scanning, faster measurement, and higher reliability—even when working with challenging materials or lighting conditions. Users can profile up to four displays on a single workstation, verify print and soft-proof accuracy with QA tools, and capture precise spot colors with industry-leading consistency. Ideal for photographers, videographers, printers, designers, and color-critical production environments, the i1Basic Pro 3 delivers consistent, repeatable color performance while reducing workflow errors, waste, and rework.

Features

• Advanced Full-Spectrum LED Engine: Enables single-pass scanning with simultaneous M0/M1/M2 measurement for faster, more accurate profiling.

• High Measurement Accuracy: Reads smaller patches than previous models and supports 400 measurements per second in scanning mode.

• Multi‑Display Calibration: Matches up to 4 displays per computer and unlimited displays across a network for consistent viewing.

• Professional Profiling Tools: Create custom monitor and projector profiles, verify soft proofs, and assess print quality with built‑in QA tools.

• Real-Time User Feedback: Ensures correct measurement positioning and performs self-checks to correct minor instrument drift.

• Ergonomic Design: Improved body shape makes cleaning easier and boosts long-term reliability.

• XRGA Standardized: Ensures measurement consistency across the entire production chain, reducing waste and improving communication.

• Upgradeable Capability: Easily upgrade to i1Publish for full printer profiling (RGB, CMYK, CMYK+4) and camera profiling workflows.

• High-Brightness Support: Accurately profiles displays up to 5000 nits for HDR and production environments.
