Measure with i1iO3+

You can measure color patches on a page using the X-Rite i1iO3+ (large aperature, 8mm) spectrophotometer. It supports transparent and textile materials.

When you select the i1iO3+ as your measurement method, you can set the instrument settings:

  • Measurement mode - Select the type of measurement that you want. You measure each strip in one pass.

    • M0 - One pass, UV included
    • M1 - One pass, D50 UV included
    • M2 - One pass, UV cut
    • M3 - One pass, Polarization filter applied only
      Note: The M3 option is available when the polarization filter (hardware) is mounted on the measurement instrument. If the filter is not mounted, then you can choose between the M0, M1, and M2 options.
  • Patch size - Choose from the available patch sizes: Normal (Default), Medium, and Large. If Large is selected, larger patches are printed to allow for better measurements with a low-resolution printer. The measurement method is the same for all patches regardless of patch size.

When you have successfully measured a page, you can check the measurements.

  1. Place the first patch page on the i1iO3+, and then click Next.

    Position the page with the top edge closest to the i1iO3+ arm.

    Note: You can switch from scan measurements to scan to spot measurements, and back to scan measurements as a per row decision for both a chart and a wedge.
  2. Following the on-screen instructions, position the crosshairs over the patch marked A and press the button on the ES-3000. Repeat for the patches marked B and C.

    The on-screen image helps you locate the patches A, B, and C.

  3. Click Next.
  4. When i1iO3+ finishes measuring the page, click Next.
  5. Measure the remaining patch pages (if any) in the same manner as the first, starting with the placement of the page and the registration of patches A, B, and C.
  6. After you measure the last page, click Next.
