New Checkr-Matte Printing Method
One of the features that distinguishes Spyder Checkr Photo is the method in which we create our color target cards. Datacolor’s new process combines color-fast inks with museum quality paper stock to deliver exceptionally rich, ultra-matte colors and the deepest black for outstandingly accurate and true color calibration that will stand the test of time.
Datacolor’s commitment to color accuracy was key in every aspect of Spyder Checkr Photo’s development; from the selection of premium paper that conforms to ISO 9706 standards, meeting exacting requirements for age-resistance, to high-quality inks that offer long-lasting color integrity. Our precise quality control processes and attention to every detail allows us to deliver an outstanding tool for photographers that provides exceptional color accuracy and workflow efficiencies to the palm of your hand.
Why Color Calibrate Your Camera?
- Cameras can vary how they capture color. Getting accurate, consistent color from scene colors to captured colors can be challenging and time-consuming. Spyder Checkr 24 provides highly accurate HSL color corrections for your camera, ensuring color accuracy and consistency.
- Color can vary from camera to camera, as well as from manufacturer to manufacturer, so getting accurate, consistent color from multiple cameras for a single project complicates your workflow, but the easy-to-use Spyder Checkr 24 lets you calibrate all your cameras, so camera-to-camera matching, accuracy and printability are easy.
- Color can also vary from lens to lens attached to the same camera body. The fast and easy-to-use Spyder Checkr 24 lets you calibrate all your camera lens combinations to ensure precise color across all your lenses.
- Color temperature and exposure can vary from shot to shot, as well as from scene to scene, which can result in inaccurate, inconsistent scene data for all your captures. Spyder Checkr 24 makes it easy to eliminate these issues with a neutral grey patch and gray ramp reference on the reverse side which you can use to adjust camera settings as well as for post-production controls for editing.
