![]() ![]() The slowest readings are for the lowest light levels those may take the same time on both. The firmware limit on sensor readings only applies if the sensor can actually take a reading in that time. Really, I'm much more interested in Argyll for print profiling, but may dipping my toe in would convince me to make a full jump.The lifespan should be equivalent – unless silvery exterior branding panels slower or faster than black ones – although the warranty may differ (perhaps depending on where you buy it).Īs for speed – “up to 5x faster” may be deceptive. In the end I found Displa圜al to be straightforward enough for our simple need (calibrating monitors), and works across all platforms (and yes, it's just a GUI for Argyll). Not to mention we have people using GNU/Linux, too. And it too has been 100% for me, up until this issue. The only reason I normally use the newer i1Studio software-which X-Rite specifically endorses as appropriate for ColorMunkis-is that it is somewhat more flexible and seems to have a slightly more advanced color engine. However, for the last probably about three (?) years, the current version of the ColorMunki Display software has been 100% for me: no crashes, no discernible problems. I agree that older versions of the ColorMunki Display software were somewhat buggy. We bought a ColorMunki Display at work, and the OEM software doesn't work well across OSX and Windows I'm on the latest version of Windows 10 on both machines. Perhaps the new software is indeed better (except for this issue you are posting I found an article seems to be agreeing with my experience, but perhaps both of us have stopped using X-Rite software for years as it was too much trouble to keep trying. I'm not sure which OS you're on, we bought a ColorMunki Display at work, and the OEM software doesn't work well across OSX and Windows, not to mention we have people using GNU/Linux, too. Thanks for the suggestion, but I've found the ColorMunki 1.1.4 software to be 100% reliable and in many uses I'd had no problems with the newer i1Studio software-with both my ColorMunki Display colorimeter and my ColorMunki Photo spectrophotometer-until this.Īlso, isn't Displa圜al a front end for monitor calibration using Argyll CMS? I've looked into Argyll a couple of times (albeit mostly for printer profiling), and found it quite interesting, but the learning curve to benefits ratio never fully convinced me-but maybe one day! The OEM software has always been buggy and inconsistent. I'd suggest using the free/open-source Displa圜AL instead. Maybe the new software is service-based and the old software was not? But then I quit the old software and tried the new software and still got no indication of a connection-very odd. You may well be right.Īt one point I thought it might be something along those lines-not that I knew precisely how to fix it-but after the old software interacted with the ColorMinki colorimeter just fine, I figured the communication between it and Windows had been opened / started. They have always been very efficient and helpful when I have called for help. If all else fails call X-Rite tech support. My notes from a call to X-Rite with a similar problem couple of years ago. If it does not display "running" then click on the line to bring up options circled in yellow top left.Ĭlick on "Restart" Reboot computer and all should be fine. Scroll to bottom (It is alphabetical) to see line: XRITE SERVICE MANAGER - Hi-lited yellow in below illustration. Should display screen as replicated below. I have had a similar problem from time to time and solved it as follows so this may help: The only maybe slightly relevant change since the last time I did this, at least of which I'm aware, is that I updated Windows versions, although all were W10 Professional 64-bit I think I'm on 2020H2, which I think is current.ĭoes anyone have any idea why this would start occurring, or what's going on, or how to fix it? Thanks! I then re-launched the i1Studio 1.5.1 software, and again it failed to recognize that the ColorMunki was plugged in. I was worried that the ColorMunki's cable was broken, but when I tried the older X-Rite ColorMunki Display 1.1.4 software, it calibrated and profiled fine. ![]() I've used this combination of device + software + computer + monitor successfully before. Just now I tried to re-calibrate and profile my work computer's monitor using my X-Rite ColorMunki Display colorimeter, and the X-Rite i1Studio 1.5.1 software acted like my ColorMunki was not plugged in, even after exiting and restarting the software a few times. ![]()
