I purchased my I1 this past June. When would I need to do this?

Well, the Certifications are good for one year (from X-Rite or SpectraCal). Look on the NIST Certificate that should have been included with yours.

If you are a Professional, you need to do this every year. If you are a DIYer, you can stretch that out to 18-24 months IMO. Some DIYers have said they are waiting for 3 years.

From all the reports I've seen over the last few years from those sending their EyeOne Pro in for recertification to X-Rite, I have yet to see a report that the EyeOne Pro was out of spec....

How about a "cert" for the ColorMunki?

Does the certification include before and after data?

No, it's an extra $50. See HERE.

IMO, for the I1 Pro, it's not necessary - you want to know it's in spec or not and get your NIST Certificate. Colorimeters are another story, you may want to see how much it has drifted because they will drift over time. If there is a lot of drift, you may need to reconsider recent calibrations. The option is there if you want those reports.

Not at this time (or from X-Rite). I don't see any technical reason why SpectraCal couldn't offer this in the future for the ColorMunki Spectros.

Is there another way to get the LED Table Enhancement? Does this enhancement mean that calibrating without it gives bad results on LED screens? I mean how big are the enhancements, should I worry as a DIY?

I just got off the phone with SpectraCal about the LED enhancements. They say it is better for LED screens and projectors due to the narrower light spectrum output by RGB projectors and even for brilliant white LED TVs. They said it would make calibration easier/faster and more acurate, but they are still great meters even without.

I am buying one due to Calman 4.1.1 being able to control my projector and do all the calibration work for me. I just have to press a button and the RS 232 cable springs into slow action.

I found that but in the meters supported list it does not mention the eyeone pro.

do you happen to know roughly what the turn around time is for an i1pro recert?

Derek, you may want them to edit that page (under the meter table):

Currently we support Chroma5, X-Rite, Hubble/OTC-1000 and Klein K-10 recertification.

should be?

or

Yea, it's a bit out of date because we support the Spyder3, Display2, Chroma5, DTP-94, C6, Discus, Hubble, K-10 and i1Pro.

Derek, can you guys add the ColorMunki Spectro to this service now? There's plenty of them out there...

If we had enought interest we would add the ColorMunki Spectro to our list of NIST meters for the lab.

If I send my i1Pro for recertification, do I get an update in the firmware or need to download from Spectracal website for the offset table? My friend send it to Hong Kong for recertification and they just send him a certificate saying his meter is good for another year. My question would be will Spectracal provide a correction table although it's quite near to the reference reading (maybe 1% differences).

I'm a DIY and I don't care about the cert but I just want to make sure my i1Pro is as accurate as possible to your reference device.

That's a good question. I also want to know the answer to this except for the C6 instead of the i1Pro.

For the I1 Pro, you get a nist certificate (good for another year).. if your I1 Pro cannot be re-certified (i.e. it's out of spec) they will return it to you... SpectraCal cannot bring a i1Pro that is out of spec into spec.. only X-Rite can (at a high cost), at least, that is how it has been. SpectraCal does have a program to swap out i1Pro's that are 3 years old or newer ($399) - see the 1st Post in this Thread.

However, SpectraCal would provide you with the LED table electronically (if the i1 Pro can be re-certified).

The C6 is another story, SpectraCal will provide the offsets for the C6 (internally stored).

Thanks for the info. Say forget about the NIST certification. Can I profile an out of spec i1Pro against another accurate spectrometer (using offset) and get accurate result from all type of display? Or I need different offset for plasma, lcd and projector?

The 4-color matrix profiles will always be dependent on the spectrum being measured.

A spectral correction could be created, but it's not something we currently support. Also the mechanical alignment protion would be a hard thing to correct on a 10nm device since it's likely out of alignment less than 10nm so shifting the data by 1 sensor would likely create error instead of reducing it.
