On the other hand, Xrite is no longer supporting i1 Pro devices with any software upgrades as far as I can tell. This is an Intel-only version which runs natively on Mac Intel systems, and also under Rosetta2 emulation on the new Mac M1 systems.

The SpyderPRINT application is now compatible with MacOS Big Sur.

If youвЂ™re running OSX 10.6.x or earlier, youвЂ™ll need to stay with the much older SpyderPRINT 4.2.3 software. If youвЂ™re running OSX 10.7.x through OSX 10.10.x, youвЂ™ll need to stay with the previous SpyderPRINT 5.0.2 software. PLEASE NOTE the following about OSX and system compatibility! It is also part of the Spyder5 Studio and SpyderX Studio packages.

This software works with BOTH the original Datacolor 1005 spectro and the 2nd generation Spyder3Print/SpyderPRINT SR spectro, and is a recommended upgrade for existing PrintFIX PRO, Spyder3Print, Spyder3Studio SR, and SpyderPRINT users who are running OSX 10.11 or later. Requirements: Datacolor 1005 spectrocolorimeter or Spyder3Print/SpyderPRINT SR spectrocolorimeter SpyderPRINT 5.6 Installer for Macintosh, 11.6.20 Download SpyderPRINT 5.6 (MacOS) here: Posted by Carsten Tschach on 12 December 2020 11:07 PM IвЂ™ve recently upgraded my 2013 MacPro to Big Sur (I still have Mojave and High Sierra on external drives to revert to if necessary) and am happy to report that DataColor has upgraded SpyderPrint software to support Big Sur and according to their support page it supports the new M1 macs as well.

I bought a Spyder3Studio kit in 2011 as a replacement for an old Xrite 400 densitometer that IвЂ™d bought used in the early '90s, and a used Xrite i1Pro (branded efi ES-1000) purchased in 2016 or '17.Д«oth spectros have worked fine with macOS up to Mojave.

Since I canвЂ™t afford any of the high-end spectro devices, my attention has been focused on DataColor Spyders and older Xrite I1 Pros that can be found 2nd-hand for cheap. The ColorMunki Photo is $510USD from X-Rite. The current SpyderPrint is $249USD from DataColor. Actually, I think IвЂ™d only recommend this route if you already have a working densitometer and want to try it out before investing in a spectro of some sort! 129 steps is a lot to record by hand so IвЂ™d look for one that can connect to the computer. There is a mathematical way to get from Density to Luminosity (the L* that is used by PiezoDN), Richard Boutwell uses it in his Digital Negative Curve Calculator, but that is only 21-steps. If that is not in the cards for you, perhaps a used reflection densitometer would work. I think mine is more comparable to the ColorMunki than the i1, but IвЂ™m not really sure having never even seen an i1.

Not knowing anything about LAB, I only used it for density readings until last May when Walker schooled me on the benefits of LAB and how to use the thing properly. I am using a DataColor SpyderPrint3 that IвЂ™ve had for about 5 years, but only started using 2 or 3 years ago when my old densitometer (X-rite 400) failed. In my opinion, a scanner will never give you an accurate calibration, not even a really good scanner like my Eversmart Pro II. The Smile is for displays only, not prints.
