Myiro-1

  • Modes: Spot, Scan 
  • M-Condition supported: M0, M1, M2, M3 (depending on the instrument)
  • Wire (USB cable) or wireless (WiFi) connection options for more flexibility
  • Inspectors: Print, Instrument, Lighting Inspector, Inspector, Substrate Inspector

Features and unique benefits:

  1. Any Direction - the user may start scanning the target from either direction
  2. Barcode support for Scanning Template selection and description.
  3. Using CC Capture, Myiro supports control strips created with multiple color spaces RGB, CMYK, Hi-Fi, ECG, Lab, Spot. 
  4. With CC Capture, Myiro supports special patches such as slurring/doubling assessment and DUDs.
  5. Spot Color placeholders in Print Inspector control strips provides the user with flexibility to have one control strip which assesses any process plus up to 4 variable spot colors. Color from library can be dynamically assigned by the operator (up to 4 different spots placeholders in a single control strip)
  6. Two spot references can be assigned at same time using color palette and color library making it possible to define the spot reference based on customer demand. This allows a brand color to be assessed to a given substrate limitation, or assessed to the absolute brand definition, which does not override reference. 
  7. With substrate Black&White backer the Myiro supports advanced substrate measurements including opacity, OBA Index, Fluorescent Index, and more. Substrate Libraries and Substrate tracking options provide the highest level of process control on raw materials.
  8. Color Inspector offers full support for Color Assets (Libraries, Palettes with Snowflake, Variator, and other unique features) and Tracking (with sample auto-recognition feature)
  9. Full CxF/X-4 support (advanced Ink characterization) 
  10. Compatible with T-42 and CL-36 (Chromachecker/Lucideon Ceramic extended BRCA) targets
  11. Lighting measurements are captured at 5 nm resolution which is one of the ISO-3664 requirements not supported by i1 Pro.
  12. RHT data (CC RHT USB Sensor is required) can be assigned to the measurements 

Additional note

Please note that Myiro-1 is also supported by CC Display software and the user can use this instrument with Display Inspector and Lighting Inspector. We strongly advise using Myiro-1 as Master Instrument for Instrument correlation purposes.

Wi-Fi connection

To enable a Wi-Fi connection, please install MYIRO-1 Configuration Tool Installer. 

Wi-FI SSID and password must be uploaded to the instrument, and a wireless connection must be enabled.

 

Network tab:

 

Please note that your computer and Instrument must use the identical SSID.

A blue LED indicates a successful Wi-Fi connection. 

 

Ambient Light Measurements

To measure Lighting Conditions, an optional Ambient Light adapter is required. Before the first usage, it has to be registered using MYIRO-1 Configuration Tool Installer. The user needs to upload the adapter calibration data into the instrument memory.

 

Ambient Light Adapter tab:

 "Current Serial No:" will report the related number when properly installed.
