How to measure a spot color with an i1Pro 2 and iProfiler from Erik Vlietinck on Vimeo.

X-Rite used to have dedicated apps for spot color measurement with an i1Pro, but it has not updated the software in ages.

This very short tutorial shows how to measure a spot color with i1Profiler.

Can you direct the attention to your business by using content published on Facebook, Twitter, Medium and other social media — exclusively? You can, but your story won't necessarily be picked up by the media, printed or online. Especially in a B2B environment chances are your Facebook page won't generate enough genuine interest and you will need a more traditional approach to reach your target audience.

The Bechstein Digital Grand is an exceptionally versatile instrument. The developers state that its tonal character corresponds to the acoustic model. For example, while playing with high polyphony throughout all registers, each note remains clearly defined within the arrangement.

GoPro HERO5 Black

GoPro’s Karma drone wasn’t a resounding success, but the company’s action camera product range is still among the best money can buy. Their latest press release states HERO5 Black sales are going well, which is encouraging to say the least. I purchased one and tested it, comparing it with a HERO4 Black in the process. The GoPro HERO5 is a little bigger than its predecessor, but has a brilliant…

Panasonic Eneloop batteries and the BQ-CC16 charger overview

Users of an Apple wireless keyboard of the first generation know their Apple batteries will hold about 80% of their charge for often more than a year. There’s a rumour Apple AA batteries were really Eneloop cells with a different wrapper. Whatever the case, the original Eneloop has advanced over the years and is even better than the first generation. My test cells came bundled with a charger. The…

Thermoforming printers: do more than just create POP displays

When you think of thermoforming prints you’re probably thinking about bas-relief prints, such as custom signs, packaging, P-O-P displays and vending panels. But a few days ago it dawned on me that you can actually do a lot more with a thermoforming printer like the EFI VUTEk GS-3250 Pro-TF. If you are active in a market where the customer doesn’t mind paying a premium for some manual…

Are there any highly visible examples of European users? And I promptly received an answer from Nick Mattingly, CEO of Switcher Studio. “Yes, live video…

Carbon Copy Cloner

Backing up your Mac isn’t something you do for pleasure. It’s a necessity and necessities are seldom fun. But when the day comes your hard disk or Mac gives up, you’ll be happy to have a backup you can start from. That is: if you can start up from your backed up volume in seconds. Chances are that, if you are using Carbon Copy Cloner, you can. I’ve tested “enterprise” level backup software in my…
