The X-Rite i1Publish Pro 3 is the industry's most complete color management solution for photographers, graphic designers, print professionals, and prepress specialists who require exceptional color accuracy from image capture through final output. Built around the advanced i1Pro 3 spectrophotometer, the i1Publish Pro 3 enables users to create highly accurate ICC profiles for monitors, projectors, scanners, cameras, RGB printers, and CMYK printing devices while ensuring consistent, repeatable color throughout the entire production workflow.

Equipped with X-Rite's next-generation spectral measurement technology, the i1Publish Pro 3 delivers faster measurements, improved repeatability, and greater profiling accuracy than previous generations. Its full-spectrum LED light source simultaneously measures M0, M1, and M2 measurement conditions in a single scan, reducing profiling time while improving measurement precision on modern substrates, including papers containing optical brightening agents.

Whether you're calibrating high-brightness HDR displays up to 5000 nits, profiling digital projectors, creating custom camera profiles, or building printer profiles for RGB, CMYK, and expanded gamut devices, the X-Rite i1Publish Pro 3 delivers professional-quality color management tools for every stage of production. Advanced iterative printer profiling, device link profiling, scanner calibration, and ColorChecker Camera Calibration software ensure your color remains accurate from capture through proofing and final print.

Designed for both beginners and experienced color professionals, i1Profiler software provides an intuitive wizard-driven workflow for fast setup while offering advanced controls for users who require complete customization. Compatible with the optional i1iO Generation 3 automated scanning table, the i1Publish Pro 3 also streamlines high-volume profiling by dramatically reducing measurement time and material waste.
