Scanner calibration for colour-managed workflow

Aug 2, 2012 1:12 PM

I would like to do a decent calibration of my Epson V750 Pro scanner to achieve a colour-managed workflow. I have the latest version X-Rite i1 Photo Pro 2 calibration kit, and although this enables me to calibrate my monitor and printer, it does not support scanner calibration.  I do have Silverfast Ai Studio which includes a scanner calibration facility - is that the best available to me or are there any other options, possibly using the i1 spectrophotometer as I know that it used to be possible to carry out calibration with the older versions of that equipment? Other than that, I'm using an Espon 3880 printer, running Vista x64 and using Photoshop CS5.

    Scanner calibration doesn't need a spectrophotometer - just a photographic target with known colors (which I think comes in the silverfast kit).

    If you have an IT-8 target and its associated files, you calbrate your scanner in VueScan, but the icc profile is not available to other scanning apps.

    Mike is probably right, the Epson profiles available in the Epson scanner sw are close enough. I;ve never seen any ******** about scanner output in this forum.
