Advantages of using Splash ColorCal are as follows:
•
Splash ColorCal requires no special color knowledge and does not require the use of a
densitometer.

•
Splash ColorCal is more accurate than other calibration solutions because it automatically
adjusts gray balance in addition to accurate linearization.

•
Splash ColorCal uses three times more color patches, with over six times the resolution in
critical regions to provide results more accurate than competitive solutions.

Splash ColorCal include an option that randomizes placement of the patches on the calibration
target to minimize the effects of print density variations on a page.

Splash CMYK and RGB color correction is usable once calibration is complete.
•
ColorCal’s advanced features can create and save custom color profiles. Profiles of multiple
