X-Rite i1Profiler v3.8 — ICC Colour Profiling Software

X-Rite i1Profiler v3.8 (i1Publish) is the industry-leading ICC colour profiling and device calibration software from X-Rite — the world authority in colour measurement and management. Combining the best features of the former ProfileMaker 5, MonacoPROFILER and i1Match into a single next-generation platform, i1Profiler v3.8 delivers the most advanced and accurate colour profile creation available for every device in a professional print, photo or prepress workflow.

At its core is X-Rite's i1Prism iterative profiling engine — the most robust ICC profile generation technology available — supporting RGB, CMYK and CMYK+ up to 8-colour workflows. Version 3.8 adds support for the i1Pro 3 Plus large-aperture spectrophotometer (8mm aperture, M3 polarisation filter for fabrics, ceramics and glossy media), transmissive media ICC profiles for clear, translucent and textile substrates, a standalone gamut viewer and comparison tool, Pantone match finder in Spot Color Compare, and enhanced black generation controls. Compatible with Windows 10 and 11.
