X-Rite i1iSis 2 Automated Chart Reader – HW-XRTEOISIS
The X-Rite i1iSis 2 is an advanced automated spectrophotometer built to eliminate the time and labor traditionally required for printer profiling and calibration. Ideal for photo processing, wide format, fine art, and high-speed digital printing environments, it enables fast, repeatable measurement of color test charts to keep profiles accurate and up to date.
With support for the latest ISO 13655 M-Series measurement standards, including M1 for substrates containing optical brightening agents, the i1iSis 2 ensures consistent color measurement across a wide range of inks, papers, and production conditions. Simply print the chart, feed it into the device, and let the i1iSis 2 process thousands of color patches in minutes.
