of third party profiling software used in all print disciplines – 1500 patches in just four minutes. Myiro-9 is the reference instrument used by major print machine manufacturers.
Like the Myiro-1, it also includes M0, M1 and M2 data in a single scan. It handles virtually all known colour charts and control wedges, and says Crowther, is never fooled by optical brighteners (OBAs) added to many substrates and papers. Myiro-9 can be adapted to a wide range of substrates. With a list price of $8900 + gst, it is for the seriously busy print shop, and according to Crowther, can pay for itself in time saved over a short time where multiple and custom profiles are needed.
“The Myiro spectrophotometers are total quality-manufactured in Japan by the Sensing division, and they measure colour as you see it,” Crowther says. “Accurate profiling has never been faster or easier, as shown in a video on our website.”
Myiro devices will be part of Colour Graphic Services’ demonstrations at September’s PacPrint in Melbourne. 21
