Proprietary Calibration Software |
| |
|
| |
The EIZO-developed ColorNavigator CE software* for ColorEdge CE models
and ColorEdge CG241W makes calibration both simple and accurate. Instead of having to judge
colors and do time-consuming inputting, or having a specialist do it for
you, all you need to do is input target values for brightness, white
point and gamma. ColorNavigator CE works with a wide range of
measurement devicess** to directly access the 12-bit or 10-bit Look-Up Table of the
monitors for accurate and reliable calibration in minutes.
* The software is available for download.
** Measurement device does not come bundled with a ColorEdge monitor.

Ambient Light Measurement |
| |
|
| |
| ColorNavigator CE can be used to measure the ambient light environment and automatically set it as the monitor's white point calibration target. Especially helpful when there is no light box to view a proof or when the light box's white point is not precisely on target, it ensures that the monitor's white point matches that of the ambient light environment for an accurate comparison between the hard (printed) and soft proofs. (X-Rite Eye-One series [excluding Eye-One Monitor/Display] only.) |

Paper White Measurement |
| |
|
| |
The software offers a paper white measurement function for color matching between the image on the monitor and the image on the printouts. By measuring the white of the paper to be used for printing, ColorNavigator will automatically set the target values for brightness and white point accordingly.
This function is compatible with the X-Rite DTP94, DTP94B, Eye-One Display 2 Eye-One Display LT, and Eye-One Pro only. The matching accuracy has been tested with EPSON UltraChrome K3 series printers (Stylus Photo R2400, Stylus Pro 4800/7800/9800) and EPSON photo paper only. |
