The X-Rite i1iO Automatic Scanning Table is a robotic, automated chart reading system designed for photographers, designers, and professional printers who require fast, accurate, and repeatable color measurements. Designed specifically for the X-Rite i1Pro 3 and i1Pro 3 Plus spectrophotometers, the i1iO eliminates manual strip reading and automates the profiling process for improved workflow efficiency and consistent color accuracy.
The X-Rite i1iO provides hands-free automation for creating high-quality ICC profiles while reducing measurement time and minimizing the risk of human error. With support for reflective chart measurements on a wide variety of substrates, including textiles, ceramics, thin polybag materials, and specialty media, the i1iO delivers reliable color profiling results across demanding production environments.
Engineered to enhance the capabilities of the i1Pro 3 and i1Pro 3 Plus, the i1iO Automatic Scanning Table features faster measurement speeds, transmissive profiling capabilities with the i1Pro 3 Plus, and expanded flexibility for wide format and grand format printing applications. The automated system reads more than 500 patches per minute in scanning mode under M0 measurement conditions, allowing users to quickly create accurate custom profiles.
The X-Rite i1iO supports automated color workflows from profiling through production by combining precision robotic movement with advanced i1Pro measurement technology. Whether profiling traditional print media or challenging materials such as canvas, textiles, ceramics, film, and backlit signage materials, the i1iO helps professionals achieve consistent color while reducing wasted time and materials.
