Re: X-Rite Pulse

2007-01-21 by George Butch

Philip,

The answer is a bit convoluted.

First, the Pulse software works well if you disable the second monitor
while generation profiles.  In windows, even with the latest Matrox
drivers, this requires a reboot of the computer.

Second, the Pulse will load and work for print profiling, without
disabling the second monitor, if you have the latest version of the
Pulse software.  1.0.2 is available for download from the X-rite
website.  It is a very big download.

You still must disable the second monitor to profile the primary
monitor.  

I still have the EZ Color software I used before buying the Pulse.  It
will allow monitor profiling without disabling the second display, so
for now I use EZ Color for the display and Pulse for the printers.  It
is necessary to remove Monaco Gamma after generating the profiles
since it will not load with Pulse installed.

One more point.  The Matrox G450 has a single LUT.  But EZ Color can
still generate a profile for the second monitor that will be
recognized by PhotoShop.  And there is a utility that can be
downloaded from the Microsoft website that will allow Windows to
handle applying the monitor profiles, eliminating the need for Monaco
Gamma.  It installs and becomes a color profile control applet in the
Windows Control Panel.
