X Profiler X-Rite 3.8 – Professional Color Profiling & Calibration Software

X Profiler X-Rite 3.8 – Software Overview

X Profiler X-Rite 3.8 is a professional ICC profiling and calibration software designed for precision printing environments that require accurate, repeatable color results. It provides advanced tools for linearization, spectral measurement processing, and ICC creation compatible with a wide range of printers and RIP software.

The software integrates seamlessly with X-Rite spectrophotometers, ensuring controlled, color-accurate workflows for signage, textiles, photography, labels, and packaging production.

Key Features

• ICC profile creation for printers, media, and ink sets.
• Device linearization tools for consistent color stability.
• Spectral measurement processing using X-Rite instruments.
• Neutral reproduction optimization for improved balance and accuracy.
• Gamut analysis for evaluating print capabilities.
• Advanced color correction tools for RIP workflows.
• Support for RGB, CMYK, and Multicolor (CMYK+) output.

Compatible Devices & Workflows

• X-Rite spectrophotometers: i1Pro, i1Pro2, i1Pro3, i1 iSis, and selected legacy units.
• RIP software integration: most major RIPs supporting ICC import.
• Wide-format printers: eco-solvent, latex, UV, and dye-sub.
• Photo & fine-art printing workflows requiring neutrality and tonal accuracy.
• Textile printing: DTG, DTF, dye-sublimation, and pigment workflows.

How It Works

Print a measurement chart, scan it with a supported X-Rite spectrophotometer, and X Profiler 3.8 processes the data to generate an optimized ICC profile. The resulting profile is imported into your RIP or design workflow for accurate color reproduction.

The software ensures correct ink limits, tonal curves, and neutral reproduction, creating a stable and predictable print environment.

Options & Settings

• Ink limiting controls for balanced color and reduced bleed.
• Tonal curve adjustments for shadows, highlights, and midtones.
• Gamut mapping options including perceptual and colorimetric.
• Black generation settings for CMYK workflows.
• Profile smoothing and noise reduction tools.
• Media presets for glossy, matte, textile, film, and more.

Benefits

• Improved color accuracy and repeatability.
• Better neutrals and smoother gradients.
• Reduced color variation between jobs.
• Optimized print quality across different media types.
• Works with industry-standard X-Rite measurement tools.
