Using the Microtek Scanner ICC Profiler (MSP)

The Microtek Scanner ICC Profiler (MSP) is a scanner calibration and profiling utility

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.
