ware updates are included in this release of the ColorSpan Print Server Software.

system combinations.

Version 8.97a Release
Notes
◆ Support for the DisplayMaker 98SX solvent printer — this new ColorSpan printer now
can be added to the server. ColorMark+ supports this new printer for linearization and
color profile creation.
◆ Support for the DisplayMaker 72UVR UV curable inkjet printer — this new ColorSpan
printer now can be added to the server.
◆ Warn on Low Ink — this feature is disabled for the DisplayMaker 72S, 72SR, and 72UVR
printers, which manage ink levels onboard the printer.
◆ GretagMacbeth Eye-One spectrophotometer — this version supports the Eye-One for lin-
earization and (ColorMark+) color profile creation. This device requires the installation
of the driver software provided by the manufacturer. For best results use the same
device to calibrate a profile as was used to create it. The factory profiles were created
with an X-Rite DTP-41, except for the 72UVR rigid profiles, which were created with an
Eye-One. “Cross-device” calibration may result in a color shift.
◆ When reading targets, the help dialog will disappear as you scroll down. Use the cursor
to relocate the help dialog. If you use the item under the help menu to deselect the dia-
log and reselect it, the target reading process will crash. Do not calibrate this device in
the middle of reading patches, the device will become unresponsive.
◆ External devices no longer scanned — the software no longer automatically detects the
spectrophotometer installed; instead, it presents a list from which the user must choose
the correct device. Be sure to choose the correct device, especially if you are using the
printer’s onboard spectrophotometer, or color matching will not be accurate.
