Introduction

MonacoSCAN™ color management software lets you create a unique

input profile for your scanner by calibrating the scanner colors. When you

use the profile, the colors in your scanned image more closely match the

colors in the original.

To create an input profile, you first scan the industry-standard IT8 target

image that came with your scanner and save it as a TIFF file. Then you

use MonacoSCAN to compare the TIFF file with a color reference file.

MonacoSCAN reports a measure of the color differences and creates an

input profile that adjusts for those differences as you scan.

MonacoSCAN also comes with an output device profile you can load into

Adobe®Photoshop®as a separation table for soft proofing images that

you’ll output on a MatchPrint.™

See your scanner

Setup Guide

for instructions on installing MonacoSCAN

on your system. Then see these sections for instructions on creating your

input profile and using the output profile for color separations:

Scanning the IT8 Target

Before scanning the IT8 target for reflective images that comes with

MonacoSCAN, make sure you have successfully installed your scanning

application program and either the EPSON®TWAIN Pro driver or the

LaserSoft®SilverFast®plug-in for Photoshop.

You may have already verified that your scanner and software are

working by following the instructions in your scanner

Setup Guide

. If you

haven’t scanned yet, be sure to try it before scanning the IT8 target.

Handle the IT8 target

very carefully. If it

becomes bent, torn,

or scratched, it won't

be able to give you a

truecalibrated profile.

You cannot use the

enclosedIT8 targetto

create a profile for

transparencies.

See the

documentation that

came in the target

package for

information on caring

for your target and

purchasing

replacements or

transparency targets,

if necessary.

1Make sure your scanner is turned on and its document table glass is

clean and lint-free.

2Place the IT8 target facedown on the document table with its upper left

corner aligned with the upper left corner of the scanning area.

3Start your application and open your scanning software (either EPSON

TWAIN Pro or LaserSoft SilverFast) as described in its online

User’s

Guide

4Click the Preview (EPSON TWAIN Pro) or Prescan (LaserSoft

SilverFast) button to prescan the target image.

5Now turn off the automatic features in the scanning software.

In SilverFast, hold down the Alt (Windows) or option (Macintosh) key

and click the Auto Adjust button to turn off the automatic

adjustment feature.

In EPSON TWAIN Pro, click the Reset button on the Preview window

to turn off all the automatic adjustment features.

6In SilverFast, adjust the frame on the image until it contains only the

IT8 target.

In EPSON TWAIN Pro, draw a marquee around the edges of the IT8

target image.

7Click the Scan (or Scan RGB) button to scan the target.

If you’re creating the

profile for scanning

with EPSON TWAIN

Pro, use TWAIN Pro

to scan the target. If

you’re creating the

profile for LaserSoft

SilverFast, use

SilverFast to scan it.

8Save the scanned image as a TIFF file in your application program.

So you can find the file easily when you load it into MonacoSCAN, it’s

a good idea to save it with the rest of the MonacoSCAN files. In

Windows, save it in the C:\Program Files\MonacoSCAN folder. On a

Macintosh, save it in the MonacoSCAN 2.6 folder. (See your program

documentation for instructions on saving files.)

Now follow the steps in Selecting Your Target and Reference Files to

select your files in MonacoSCAN.
