Features & Benefits

Speed and Accuracy
Create custom profiles in minutes with standard color or black and white targets. New SpyderGuide included for convenience in creating profiles easily and accurately.

New SpyderProof™ Function
Unique SpyderProof function gives you a series of real images to evaluate detail from a photographers point of view. Softproof the images using your own custom profiles. Print the sample images directly from SpyderProof to check your profile results. Designed for the way photographers work, SpyderProof brings you a new level of color control to help you achieve color excellence.

Curves Import Function
Total control over Color and Black & White Tinting curves in your Image Editor, which allows you to apply adjustments to the profile rather than to each individual image.

Precision Gray Axis Algorithm
Extended Grays Target allows you to add precision gray and near gray data to profiles, enhancing quality of Tinted and Black and White prints.

New L-Star Workflow Option
Allows L-Star users to build profiles that coordinate with their L-Star display calibration, and L-Star working space.

PreciseLight™ Function
Adjust profile settings to optimize your print based on where and how it will be displayed by allowing you to preview and adjust to different ambient lighting conditions.

Supports 16 bit profiles
Supports both 8 bit and 16 bit profiles so you can faithfully reproduce the most subtle elements of your work.

Advanced Presets
Easily select prebuilt or custom sets of advanced profiles settings to produce profiles with specific combinations of highlight and shadow tint, and detail and neutrality settings.

A Printing Primer & Comprehensive On-Screen Help
Help so good our users tell us we should charge extra for it. More than help, the Spyder3Print on-screen help is actually a primer on how to get great prints. At every step of the process - from printer check, media selection, or profile creation - comprehensive help with illustrations and examples are available to you. Help is provided for every kind of user - from novice to expert.

Integrated Print Quality and Media Settings Check
Helps verify that your printer is configured and operating correctly.

Easy to Use
Photo-Centric User Interface means you don't have to be a color expert to get outstanding results.
