The i1Photo colorimeter and i1Match software combination provides out-of-the-box calibration of any CRT or LCD screen, and also measures flash and ambient light. The iO Bundle’s table allows for completely automated printer profiling with the click of a button. Place a color swatch test patch printed from the software onto the iO scanning table. Then attach the i1Photo to the automated table and off goes the process of reading profiles. A few minutes later, the system has completely profiled any printer without any user interaction. The software is basic and easy to use, with on-screen menus that guide photographers through every step of the process. Think of it as an all-inclusive solution to the problems of color calibration. While you can calibrate your monitor and printer with the lower-priced (and still very powerful) i1PhotoLT (less than $1,000), the combination of the i1Photo and iO automated scanning table is by far the easiest and most powerful solution.
