I am looking for hardware for calibration of canvas prints.

There are many solutions for monitors (as Datacolor Spyder, X-Rite i1 Display Pro, X-Rite ColorMunki) and paper printers (as Datacolor SpyderPRINT), but what hardware is needed to take color profiles for canvas printers?

It is the same process as any printer.

You simply need to print the sample and take measures with the hardware.

  • The document repeats "paper" as printing media. Canvas is not mentioned anywhere. So calibrating canvas prints is kind of using the tool out of its specifications. – joro May 20 '17 at 6:01
  • It does not matter what the base is. It is one methodology for print, regardless is fabric or paper or plastic. – Rafael May 20 '17 at 11:58
  • Possibly it is correct, but official documents assert that only paper media is supported. – joro May 21 '17 at 7:52
  • You were generally right! I opened an requests to X-Rite and Datacolor. I am upvoting your answer but I will post my entire experience as a new answer. – joro Jul 18 '17 at 19:32
  • Nice. That kind of feedback is good. – Rafael Jul 18 '17 at 21:51

I contacted online both X-Rite and Datacolor and asked the same question.

Datacolor never responded (it has been few months from then)!

X-Rite contacted me by phone via their local dealer. He asked me my case and gave me a detailed answer with interesting details about getting accurate colors on canvas. I really enjoyed such information from person with much experience! He recommended me XRite i1Publish Pro 2 as their product for such tasks.

Summary: It seems X-Rite has great support instead of Datacolor!
