Color Quality Control

Did I print the expected ?

How do you know that your prints show the expected color rendering?
How do you know that your printing machine is stable?
Quality control is part of every industrial process and is a key part in the printing industry. 

By implementing a color quality control process you'll get accurate data about your printing machines' behaviour and can optimise the timing for a new "calibration".

Customer satisfaction and loyalty in your own hands!

Color Quality Control

MYIROtools includes a simple but powerful quality control module.

It allows you to easily judge whether or not your print is in compliance with the widely used industry standards.

Unlike typical QC solutions, MYIROtools doesn't give a simple pass/fail result.

We believe that conformance judgments should help printers to take appropriate actions.

At any time, you can provide proof of your results by editing a full PDF report or printing it with a label format.

Color Quality features at a glance

The QC results can be displayed in a variety of ways and views, allowing the user to quickly see where the color problems are.

Getting certified has never been so easy

The MYIROtools QC module includes verification presets for many different standardisation process used in different regions of the world.

  • FOGRA PSD PrintCheck
  • ISO 12647 Contract Proof / Validation Print
  • G7 calibration and verification
  • Japan Printers Association standards


The FOGRA Mediawedge v3 CMYK and RGB license is included* in all MYIROtools Editions. Even with the FREE Edition !

*For any owner of Konica Minolta FD-9 / 7 / 5BT / 5, MYIRO-1 / 9, MYIROtools Basic / QC Advanced / Advanced.

Multicolor Profiling

Multicolor Profiling

Create ICC and DVL for CMYK / RGB / CMYK+ (up to 7C) printing machines.

Printer Profiling

Color accuracy is the key

Printing machine and RIP manufacturers often ship "generic profiles".
These might give "good enough" color reproduction.

What if your customer expects more than "good enough"?

Dedicated ICC profiles of your system enables the best accuracy achievable.

Thanks to MYIROtools' WORKFLOW concept, where the user is guided through all steps to create a printer profile, no expertise is needed anymore.

You'll be delighted to see how wonderful your print-outs can be!

Best-in-class Profiler engine

The MYIROtools Profiler integrates state-of-the-art profiling technology for everyone.

MYIROtools Profiler delivers outstanding results in terms of accuracy, contrast preservation, vividness and neutrality of the gray balance for CMYK, RGB or Multicolor driven printing machines.

Beginners in color management would use the Easy Profiler 
Advanced users and color experts will love the Advanced Profiler

CMYK+ printers (up to 7C) would ask for the Multicolor add-on

All will enjoy the MYIRO user experience !

Color experts talk about it !

Michael Lithgow, ISO/G7 Compliance Specialist & Fogra Qualified Partner

It worked extremely well. Excellent gradation and neutrality and the client was very happy with the saturation. I performed the Linearisation and ink limiting in Versaworks and then built the profile in MYIROtools... The results appeared to be very accurate and I was impressed with the subtleties in areas like various skin tones. A particularly excellent outcome, especially for large format.

Neutralize OBA preset

Benefit from a modern ICC profiling technology

Neutralize OBA preset

Neutralize OBA preset

A unique algorithm that uses perceptual rendering intent and is only available in MYIROtools!

Printing a neutral and pleasing image where grays and skin tones dominate can be very difficult when using papers with OBAs (Optical Brightening Agents). That's why our "Neutralize OBA" preset was developed: to help printers get a neutral gray axis and smooth skin tones even on these modern papers.

Monitor Calibration & Profiling

What you see is what you get?

You face this every day. The same color looks different on different monitors! Monitor calibration and profiling is also an important part of the whole graphics chain calibration.

MYIROtools integrates the world-class monitor calibration and profiling software "basICColor Display6", which you can even use for free if you own a MYIRO-1 spectrophotometer. 

Master and control color from design to print with MYIRO solutions!

basICColor display6 included!

The 6th generation of the leading monitor calibration and ICC profiling application has been dramatically improved in usability and functionality. Pre-defined workflows can be used right out of the box with the click of a button. This covers most situations where monitor calibration is required. Parameters for special requirements can be configured with the integrated workflow editor. This makes basICColor display6 the easiest to use and most professional software in its class.

It is integrated into MYIROtools and works with every MYIRO-1 without additional license.

Control your viewing light conditions!

MYIRO-1 combined with a compatible software (Check our Compatible Software List) can check ambient light and viewing lights for conformity with the relevant standards. Depending on software, Color Temperature (°K), Illuminance (lx) and more information can be displayed and verified with every MYIRO-1 equipped with the optional Ambient Light Adapter.

Compatible viewing booths can be controlled automatically in order to achieve the same luminance as the calibrated monitor.

You can make the softproof and hardcopy proof look identical !

MYIROtools is also for you

Users of Konica Minolta
FD-9, FD-7, FD-5 and FD-5BT

MYIROtools is the successor of basICColor Catch and Konica Minolta FD-S2W and brings you much more. Quality control is now integrated and the profiling engine has been upgraded to a best-in-class level, making MYIROtools the perfect upgrade for your existing solution.

Successor for basICColor CMYKick and dropRGB

basICColor offered best-in-class colormanagement tools. That's why MYIROtools includes basICColor display6.

The printer profiling software is no longer developed or supported. Even with a valid license they don't work on modern MacOS systems anymore.

The successor of dropRGB and CMYKick is MYIROtools Basic.

It offers RGB and CMYK profiling plus quality control and display calibration at a price that is competitive with basICColor CMYKick alone. Get in touch with one of our partners today or download a trial version.

Successor for basICColor Print and Devil

If you are looking for a successor of basICColor print and DeviL check out MYIROtools Advanced. It offers advanced profiling capabilities plus quality control and display calibration for a price that is competitive to the price of basICColor Print alone. Get in touch with one of our partners today or download a trial version.
