Some packages include this kind of combination. Some manufacturers make targets which are conform but their reference file is not (or the other way around). Have the IT8 calibration tool in SilverFast, I should mention, the IT8 calibration is not standard in SilverFast, it is an extra tool that can be purchased as an upgrade to all SilverFast versions where it is not present and is available for all scanners.Īn IT8 calibration target and its reference file, both must be stardard conform.

Requirements to IT8 calibrate the scanner These might be reflected in light up to stark color changes, these can be corrected by color profiles generated for the specific conditions. Things like temperature and humidity might also affect the operation of the scanner, also the internal lamp changes the temperature of the scanner and its components. These changes are reflected in light color inaccuracies which can be corrected by generating new color profiles for the scanner Construction parts age and with it the way these devices “see” things.

Although Color Management is a very extent topic, I will briefly mention three good reasons for an IT8 calibration:
