Datacolor has released Version 5.5 of its SpyderPRINT software for macOS. Both the application and installer are now 64-bit and fully compatible with macOS 10.15 Catalina.
SpyderPRINT provides test patterns you print using your inks and paper on your printer which are then scanned with the included spectrocolorimeter. The known values of the test patterns are compared to the actual printed squares to create a profile for that ink and paper combination, providing the most accurate equivalent to your image data your printer can provide.
It can also be used to recalibrate the SpyderCHECKR targets as they age.
HIGHLIGHTS
Highlights of the update include:
- 64-bit compiles compatible with macOS 10.15 Catalina
- Retina display support for improved user interface appearances
- Internal improvements
- Bug fixes
All previous measurement files and target prints created with earlier versions of SpyderPRINT remain valid and can be used with the new 5.5 version.
We have a review of SpyderPRINT in process as part of our Datacolor Kits series.
