To create a report in i1Profiler (the software used for X-Rite and Calibrite calibration devices), follow these steps to generate a validation or QA report: 1. Navigate to the Quality Assurance Module i1Profiler and ensure you are in Advanced Mode (selectable on the home screen). Look for the Display Quality Assurance Printer Quality Assurance workflow in the licensing/home screen. 2. Perform the Measurement Select the display or printer profile you wish to test. Choose a reference patch set (e.g., IDEAlliance for printers, or standard patch sets for displays).
Follow the on-screen instructions to measure the colors using your i1Pro or i1Display device. 3. Generate and Save the Report
Once the measurement is complete, the software will display the results (Delta E values). Create Report

Headline: X-Rite i1Profiler 3.1.1: A Critical Update for Stability and Compliance
X-Rite has rolled out i1Profiler v3.1.1, and while version number increments often suggest minor tweaks, this release addresses a crucial behind-the-scenes change that professional users need to be aware of.
The Headline Feature: macOS Notarization For users on macOS, this is the big one. With Apple tightening security protocols, the previous lack of full notarization was becoming a friction point for many workflows. i1Profiler 3.1.1 is now fully notarized with Apple. This means:
Key Improvements: Beyond the macOS security compliance, the update brings vital maintenance to the suite:
Why Update? If you are running an older version (especially v3.0 or earlier) on a modern Mac, this update is mandatory for stability. For Windows users, while not as critical regarding security pop-ups, the bug fixes regarding profile management make it a recommended upgrade to maintain a clean color management pipeline. To create a report in i1Profiler (the software
Recommendation: As always with color management software, ensure your existing license is current. The update is available directly through the X-Rite download portal or via the application's update checker.
Keep your ICC profiles clean and your displays accurate.

i1Profiler 3.1.1 works with the following X-Rite/Calibrite colorimeters and spectrophotometers:
| Device | Type | Use Case | |--------|------|-----------| | i1Display Pro / i1Display Pro Plus | Colorimeter | Monitor, projector, OLED | | i1Pro 2 | Spectrophotometer | Monitor, printer, reflective/transmissive | | i1Pro 3 / i1Pro 3 Plus | Spectrophotometer | Printer, display, ambient light | | i1iO Automated Table | Accessory | Automated chart reading for printers | | i1iSis 2 | Automated strip reader | High-volume printer profiling | Headline: X-Rite i1Profiler 3
Note: Version 3.1.1 predates the Calibrite split; it was originally licensed under X-Rite branding.
| Area | Improvement | |-------|--------------| | Speed | Faster chart measurement (up to 20% quicker with i1iO) | | Accuracy | Improved i1Pro 3 Plus spectral averaging for fluorescent papers | | UI | Fixed scaling issues on high-DPI Windows displays | | Stability | Resolved crashes when switching between display and printer modules | | Network | Better i1Share cloud profile upload reliability |
Unlike basic calibration tools, i1Profiler 311 leverages Correction Data Sets. Instead of assuming your monitor behaves like a generic LCD, the software uses spectral data from your specific display type (e.g., White LED, GB-LED, PFS Phosphor, OLED). For version 3.1.1, X-Rite added CDS for Quantum Dot and wide-gamut backlights, which were becoming standard in 2017-2019.
Workflow:
The software measures the patch sets, creates a Video Card Gamma Table (VCGT) and a 3D LUT (Look-Up Table), and validates the results against targets like sRGB, Adobe RGB, DCI-P3, and Rec. 2020.
i1Profiler is a professional-grade color management software application designed to create, edit, and manage high-quality color profiles (ICC profiles) for monitors, projectors, printers, and scanners. Version 3.1.1 is a specific maintenance release within the i1Profiler 3.x generation, focused on stability improvements, bug fixes, and enhanced hardware support.
Developed by X-Rite Incorporated (now part of Calibrite for certain consumer products), i1Profiler targets graphic designers, photographers, prepress specialists, and commercial printers who demand precise color accuracy.
