Does Spyder Print work with CMYK printers?
Spyder Print builds -only- RGB printer profiles; it doesn't build CMYK printer profiles. This has nothing to do with the kind of inks that are in these printers. There are no printers with RGB -ink...

When do you use Extended Grays in the Spyder Print software?
First, print one of the color targets (either 225 or 729 patches; I'd suggest starting with 225, to keep things simple, then try again with 729 later if you like). If you have a printer that come w...

Can I use Spyder Print to profile my color laser printer?
Many color lasers can use the type of RGB printer profiles that Spyder Print builds. You can try using a sample Spyder Print profile to see if your printer will apply it. Even though it may make th...

How do I use the adjustments sliders in Spyder Print to adjust the results of my profile?
The easiest and fastest solution is to move between the SpyderProof view screen and the Editing controls screen, and adjust the controls as desired, making a print only after you have achieved the ...

If I begin reading a Spyder Print target, and then stop before completing the process, how do I continue without having to start at the beginning again?

This only occurs at first launch of the application. It is necessary as Spyder Print uses your page size and orientation to create on-screen previews of targets and test images. Be sure to choose L...

I can’t print directly from applications to my type of printer, how can I use it with Spyder Print?
There is a folder named “Targets” in the Spyder Print folder. It contains TIFF versions of the profiling targets. You can print these as they are, or make adjustments in an image editing applicatio...

What is the advantage of using Spyder Print's Print Quality Check function, instead of the nozzle test in my printer’s driver?
Not all printers have nozzle-specific tests available, and not all users run a driver level check before beginning the profiling process. So it’s a good idea to run the Print Quality Check in our s...

Why am I asked to enter information about my printer, inks, paper, and media setting into Spyder Print before I go through the profile building process?
You can leave these spaces blank, and as a result blanks will be printed onto your profiling target, to be filled in by hand. But it’s a better idea to fill the info in on the computer. This avoids...
