Pantone ColorMunki Design Colour Management Solution

Description

Designed for use by graphic designers and photographers, the Pantone ColorMunki Design Colour Management Solution provides display, projector and RGB/CMYK printer profiling in an easy-to-use all-in-one integrated solution with a streamlined interface, enabling photographers to easily, quickly and affordably match colours from display to print. The Colormunki Design includes software to optimise spot colours (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet).

The Swiss-engineered ColorMunki spectrophotometer is a portable all-in-one device that provides Monitor, Projector & Printer Profiling, along with ambient light measurement and spot colour measurement without the need for any cumbersome accessories to repurpose the device; it even has a Built-in white calibration tile for self calibration. Think of it as a "Swiss Army Knife" of colour management.

You'll get precise monitor calibration using a basic mode with preconfigured settings or an advanced mode with settings for white point, ambient compensation and precalibration. It also has the ability to capture the ambient light within a room or a light box for an impressive level of colour calibration. The ColorMunki is even capable of fast and accurate projector profiling to project your images to your clients, family, or friends with colour confidence. It's RGB and CMYK printer profiling technology provides complete colour control along with optimised printer profiling, and has the ability to optimise spot colour samples for accurate rendering that is particularly useful for consistent graphic design output. Plus there is no need to read individual colour patches because ColorMunki's super fast printer profiling can rapidly scan test charts in less than one minute.

Furthermore, the ColorMunki software provides colour creation and communication tools that allow you to grab colours from virtually anywhere, including your entire image library, preview your colour palettes under different light sources and even preview for PrintSafe production under a variety of different printing methods.

Features

No Cumbersome Accessories Needed
The All-in-One design of the ColorMunki spectrophotometer means no separate accessories are needed to profile your displays and printers. A white calibration tile is integrated right into the device, and it includes a protective bag, which doubles as an integrated monitor holder.

Calibrate with Ease
Quick, easy, and accurate display-to-print matching is what the ColorMunki is all about. The included software guides you through whichever profiling function you desire. You can select "match my printer to my display" and you'll be completely guided through the profiling process, or you can easily jump right to display, projector or printer profiling.

Calibrate LCD & Laptop Computer Displays
The ColorMunki calibrates all types of LCD & Laptop monitors using either the Easy or Advanced mode. The Easy mode has predetermined selections, so you don't need to be a colour expert. For those looking for more control over whitepoint or ambient measurements, choose the "advanced" mode. The DDC auto detect control will quickly determine if your monitor is compliant and if so, perform one button display profiling. ColorMunki can also calibrate multiple displays with ease, and provides before and after visualisation, as well as calibration reminder prompts.

Projector Profiling
Using Video projectors to display images has always been a hit-or-miss proposition in regards to colour accuracy. Utilising the same profiling technology for your computer display, and with just a flip of the devices selector wheel, ColorMunki will give you fast and accurate projector profiles so you can project your images to your client, family or friends with confidence.

Printer Profiling
The ColorMunki can profile RGB and CMYK printers, and delivers outstanding printer profile quality for print colour that matches what you see on your screen. You simply scan one test chart of 50 patches, and ColorMunki calculates an interim profile and learns how your printer behaves for these colours. It then produces a second chart that perfects your profile once you scan it. The ColorMunki even has the ability to optimise for specific colours, black & white, and flesh tones from individual image types. And the ColorMunki's super fast scanning capability can rapidly measure test charts in less than one minute, so you don't lose precious productivity time with the process of printer profiling.

Colour Profile Management
ColorMunki includes software to help manage and fully utilise your colour profiles. ColorMunki's AppSet talks with your photo and design applications to automate printer profile setting, and with PrintSafe chequing capabilities, you'll be able to preview your colour palettes under different lighting sources or printing processes before you go to production.

Colour Extraction
ColorMunki Design includes Palette Creation software that allows you to create and name unlimited custom colour palettes. With this software, you can select colours from Pantone and other built-in libraries, select colours from dynamically associated Harmony, Variation and Similar colour sets, capture any colour from any surface, or automatically extract colour from any image. It also provides the ability to search generated colour themes with natural language labels like "fresh", "sporty" or "vivid"
