Description

An all-in-one solution for photographers and imaging professionals, the Spyder X2 Print Studio from Datacolor allows expert color management and print matching. This Photo Studio contains the Spyder X2 Ultra, Spyder CUBE, and Spyder PRINT, all of which work together to ensure color accuracy and ultimately reduce the amount of paper and ink you use. Additionally, all items fit neatly in the included metal transport case.

Datacolor Spyder X2 Ultra Colorimeter

Ideal for photographers, videographers, and hybrid content creators, the Datacolor Spyder X2 Ultra is the most powerful colorimeter and software system from DataColor, providing consistent and accurate color output across your devices. Its lens-based sensor benefits advanced users looking for the highest level of color calibration and thanks to its expanded measurement range, it allows you to achieve accurate color reproduction in most HDR-capable displays. The Spyder X2 Ultra can measure up to 2000 nits of brightness and supports most industry standard monitors and projectors.

  • Expanded Sensor Capabilities make it a great choice for calibrating most HDR displays as well as high-brightness (up to-2000 cd/m2) monitors, computer-connected TVs, and projectors.
  • Advanced Display Mapping & Analysis offer a better understanding of the color, brightness, contrast, gamut, tone response, and white point for your displays.
  • 2nd generation software provides a cleaner, more concise User Interface experience.
  • Useful tool for photo, video, and hybrid workflows.
  • User-friendly design allows for a broad range of skill sets and user needs.
  • Unlimited calibration settings allow you to customize your settings to meet your exact needs.

Datacolor SpyderCUBE RAW Calibration Tool

The SpyderCUBE RAW Calibration Tool from Datacolor is a compact (1.5"/3.8 cm square), digital color balancing tool that not only allows you to correct the color temperature but also the exposure, brightness and black point of your images. The SpyderCUBE is a spectrally neutral three-dimensional tool that's small enough to fit in your pocket or camera bag and gives you all the features needed to easily adjust your images in post-production. Its multi-sided construction allows special attention to highlights and shadows, and contains more features for image control than a gray card or white balance tool.

Just place the SpyderCUBE in the lighting conditions under which you will be photographing. Orient the cube so that the lower black face, containing the black trap, is at the bottom front, and the two split white/gray faces are both visible. Take a photograph that includes the Cube. It makes several measurements that make it possible for you to be confident that your colors are accurate, your shadows and highlights are properly exposed, and your image is adjusted to the ideal density, regardless of the lighting conditions. These functions give you the data you need:

Chrome Ball - Measures catchlight to analyze specular highlights.
White Face(s) - Define highlights in relation to catchlight.
Gray Face(s) - Measures color temperature and midtone response.
Black Face - Defines shadows in relation to black trap.
Black Trap - Defines absolute black.

By using SpyderCUBE under the same lighting conditions as your photos, you can optimally adjust all the
photos in RAW conversion using the information the Spyder 3D shot provides. The SpyderCUBE is easy enough for the advanced amateur and sophisticated enough for professionals.

Reference tool to achieve accurate colors without trial-and-error operations in RAW processing.
  • SpyderCUBE provides all relevant light information for the RAW adjustments:
    * Chrome Ball to measure catchlight to analyze overexposed areas.
    * White Faces to define highlights in relation to catchlight.
    * Spectrally neutral 18% Grey Faces to measure color temperature and midtones in all lighting conditions.
    * Black Trap to define absolute black.
    * Black Face to define shadows in relation to black trap.
  • Easy to use and compatible with all RAW converter software.
  • Essential for RAW processing but can also be used when processing images in a JPG workflow.
  • Small and handy, it fits in any photo bag
  • Ideal for location shooting (outdoor or indoor) and studios

  • Spectrally Neutral, so that the Cube responds accurately to all lighting conditions
  • Provides reference values to check and adjust RAW control settings
  • Includes Black Trap for shadow detail control
  • Allows users to instantly correct color images by setting color temperature value
  • Allows users to accurately adjust shadows and highlight detail in any RAW image
 
Datacolor SpyderPRINT

Datacolor's SpyderPRINT allows photographers, designers and imaging professionals to manage the color of their print output -- it's a great tool for print matching and can reduce the amount of paper and ink used in the long run.

By selecting any combination of printer, ink and media in the software, SpyderPRINT provides a full assortment of tools. You'll be able to create any number of custom profiles to ICC standards. After installing the software, you can print your choice of targets with your printer and then use the SpyderGuide device to guide you through the process to calibrate and build a profile.

The SpyderProof feature provides a series of images to help you evaluate details and compare it with your images. Additionally, you can adjust profile settings to get the best possible printed output for images.

Please note! SpyderPRINT builds RGB ICC profiles. Please check with the manufacturer of your laser printer of the developer of your RIP software to determine if your laser printer or RIP is compatible with RGB format ICC profiles.

Profiling Speed and Accuracy
The spectrocolorimeter gives you custom profiles in minutes with EZ targets for color and black and white. The SpyderGuide device provides convenience in reading the printed targets to help you create profiles easily and accurately
 
Intuitive Profiling Software
The step-by-step process affords improved usability. The program makes it easy to follow the calibration of the targets and help you build a profile
 
SpyderProof
This function gives you a series of carefully selected images to evaluate detail with a photographer's point of view. This feature is available for each unique printer profile that you create, providing you with a soft-proofing tool that is invaluable in managing your printed output
 
Total Control
Advanced controls are included in the Color and Black & White Tinting curves in your Image Editor, which allows you to apply adjustments to the profile rather than to each individual image. The Extended Grays Target allows you to add precision gray and near-gray data to profiles, enhancing the quality of tinted and black and white prints
 
Extensive Editing Functions
Flexible target options and high patch profiling targets produce gallery-quality prints in color or black and white. Easily select prebuilt or custom sets of advanced profile settings to produce profiles with specific combinations of highlight and shadow tint, details and neutrality settings
