Using the Microtek Scanner ICC Profiler (MSP)
NOTE: This chapter is only for the PC users who have installed the Microtek's MSP
utility, and use the IT8 color targets to generate scanner ICC profiles.
The Microtek Scanner ICC Profiler (MSP) is a scanner calibration and profiling
utility program designed exclusively for Microtek scanners. Used together with
the color calibration target, the ICC Profiler determines the color attributes of your
scanner accurately, then generates an ICC profile tailored exclusively for the scanner
that you are using under ScanWizard Pro.
MSP and IT8 Calibration Data Installation
Before installing MSP, ScanWizard Pro needs to be installed on your system. This
will ensure that the MSP utility will install and function properly.
To install MSP, take note of the following:
•
For PC: Place the Microtek Software DVD into a drive, then double click
the MSP installer icon. Follow the on-screen instructions to install and you will be
prompted to insert the IT8 Calibration Data CD included in your software kit. Insert
the IT8 Calibration Data CD to ensure that the MSP utility will have the latest color
profile targets to reference. Then the MSP installation is complete.
Calibration Target
The industry-standard IT8 color target for MSP program you received depends on
the scanner configuration that you purchased. If the IT8 color target is included with
your scanner package, you may use the IT8 color target to calibrate the scanner.
The calibration targets are very delicate and must be handled carefully. Take note of
the following:
• Gently remove targets from their respective protective sleeves and avoid touching
the target image surface.
• When not in use, keep targets in their sleeves and keep away from light and heat.
NOTE: To keep the colors in your scanner consistent, you should perform color
calibration on a regular basis. Professional photographers, graphic designers or
others who require extremely precise color may wish to calibrate the scanner every
time it is used.
