5 Creating the Scanner ICC Profile
This chapter provides information on how to use the Microtek Scanner ICC Profiler
(MSP) for your scanner.
Introduction
The Microtek Scanner ICC (International Color Consortium) Profiler is a scanner
calibration and profiling utility program exclusively designed for Microtek scanners. The
profiler lets you calibrate accurately the color attributes of your scanner and create an
ICC color profile customized and tailored particularly for the scanner you are using
under ScanWizard Pro TX.
To keep the colors in your scanner consistent over time, it is recommended that you
calibrate your scanner with the ICC Profiler 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.
Calibration Kit
Your MSP utility program is included in the same CD-ROM that contains the ScanWizard
Pro TX software. One industry-standard Kodak Transparency color target (Kodak Q-
60E3, 35mm slide) for calibration is included in the scanner accessories package.
Note : The calibration targets are very delicate and must be handled carefully, as follows:
••
••
• Gently remove the target from its respective protective sleeve and avoid touching the
target's image surface.
••
••
• When not in use, keep the target in its respective sleeve and away from light and heat.
Installing MSP
For Macintosh users: Insert the Microtek CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. Open the
ICC Profiler folder, then double-click the Installer icon to install the program.
For PC users: Insert the Microtek CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. When the software
installer screen appears, click on the “Install” option for the Scanner ICC Profiler
program, then follow the on-screen instructions until the program finishes installing.
Note
::
::
: The ScanWizard Pro TX program should be already installed in your system before you
install MSP. Otherwise, MSP will not work.
