Will I be able to generate pleasing Black & White, or grayscale profiles with Datacolor printer profiling tools?
Printing black and white images with color inks is, in many ways, the most difficult function for color printers, and for color profiles. Some printers and their inks are sufficiently consistent an...

What rendering intent should I use when printing images using profiles generated by Spyder Print?
Use whichever intent suits your taste, and works well with your images. The Saturation intent may offer brighter colors, while Relative Colorimetric may offer the best match to spot colors and prep...

What's the difference between a spectrophotometer and a colorimeter? I've been told that a spectrophotometer is better, but I'm unclear on how and why.
You may have heard the Urban Legend that a spectrophotometer is reflective device (reads patches on paper), and a colorimeter is an emissive device (reads displays). Not actually true. There is ano...

What is rendering intent?
A method of handling out-of-gamut colors when matching one color space to another. The ICC profile specification specifies four rendering intents: Perceptual, Absolute Colorimetric, Relative Colori...

With Spyder Print it's not obvious how this helps me match the monitor display to the printer output since there does not appear to be any linkage between its calibration and my Spyder display profile.
This is a conceptual error; a ""misexpectation"". ICC profiles do not adjust your monitor to match your printer, or visa versa. Instead they accurately measure and define the state of all your devi...

Am I able to sell or distribute the printer profiles that are generated with my Datacolor products?
Datacolor grants to you, and you accept, a personal, nonexclusive, nontransferable license to distribute profiles in .ICM or .ICC format, including to customers or your consulting or design service...
