The different section are divided into sub-section that you can access by scrolling through the page, or use the top menu bar as shown below:
In this section the basic concept and different tools of MYIROtools is explained.
MYIROtools is a colour management software.
It includes functions to measure charts, create ICC profiles, control print quality and more.
The tab "Command" of the main window is divided into two section. The "Tools" and the "Workflows".
This is the place to start all your color management related tasks.
The section "Tools" is used by experienced users to perform certain tasks manually.
MYIROtools offers a very simple way to get things done called "Workflows".
A workflow is a wizard which guides you through all necessary steps to do a certain job like e.g. creating a profile for your printer. Every workflow contains instructions. Therefore this manual only describes the intention of the installed workflows briefly.
List of workflows available:
G7 Linearization
This workflow is used to create a G7 calibration.
During the workflow you can choose the type of chart.
QC
QC is a folder. It contains workflows for quality control of prints. They are configured to use the standard quality control wedges and the most important reference printing conditions for different regions in the world.
Measurement
This workflow is used to measure a chart and save the data as CGATS file.
During the workflow you can select the type of chart to be measured and the M-condition to be used for the final data.
Profiling CMYK
This workflow is used to print and measure a chart and calculate a CMYK Output Profile.
During the workflow you can choose the type of chart, the print size and the profiling settings.
Profiling RGB
This workflow is used to print and measure a chart and calculate an RGB Output Profile.
During the workflow you can choose the type of chart, the print size and the profiling settings.
Profiling (ICC / DL)
This workflow is used to create several kinds of ICC Profiles.
- Printer Profiles
- RGB
- CMYK
- Multicolor
- DeviceLink Profiles
- RGB - CMYK
- CMYK - CMYK
- RGB - Multicolor
- CMYK - Multicolor
- Multicolor - Multicolor
- DeviceLink Concatenation
- Combine two DeviceLink Profiles into one
The tab "Data" in the main window mirrors the contents of your working folder.
A double-click on a file opens it using the corresponding tool of MYIROtools.
The tab "System" of the MYIROtools main window is used for administrative tasks and presets.
- Change the language of the software
- Control and change the path of the working folder ("Data path")
- Set the standard location for saving print files ("Save File")
- Check and activate/update licenses
