< Foreword >
This software product is a color management program that minimizes
the color variance among the different printers, media type, or
print quality modes.
You can minimize the color variance of print images by creating the
ICC profile for your environment and applying it to the image.
In the Pro9500 Mark II series, you can perform the printer
calibration that minimizes the difference in the color
reproducibility between different printers, environments, or times
for a user who needs the much higher color precision.

instrument.
Alternatively, use the bundled diagnostic software
(Eye-One Diagnostics) and try diagnosing the measuring
instrument problem.
If failure occurs when you try to create an ICC profile
for your printer or if a problem is indicated in the
diagnosis results, contact the measuring instrument
manufacturer.
