Try HydraFix® now!

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The combination of Alwan ColorHub and Alwan ToolBox allows you to update your digital press calibration and ICC profile in 3 easy and quick steps.

 
  1. Choose print device and instrument
  2. Print HydraFix® chart
  3. Measure it, Done!

Your press is back into conformance even if printing conditions or substrate have changed

THE IDEAL SOLUTION TO CALIBRATE AND PROFILE DIGITAL DEVICES

HydraFix® uses Hydra® technology which is Alwan’s unique and patented spectral prediction technology.
Hydra® technology has the unique ability to assess, optimize and build an accurate ICC profile out of a very small number of patches.
Less than 100 patches are necessary to build an accurate 4-color ICC compliant Hydra profile.

HydraFix® enables the connection between the measurement and profiling software - Alwan ToolBox - and the color management software - Alwan ColorHub - 3 clicks tops! Digital printer profile update has never been easier and error-free.

HydraFix® profile update charts have less than 100 patches and can be quickly measured with any handheld or automated spectral measurement device, 2 minutes tops! Digital printer profile update has never been faster.

Hydra® technology offers intelligent assessment, filtering and averaging of measurement data.
This allows operators as well as experts to easily build and update accurate output ICC profiles.

HydraFix® makes most paper specific queues, inkcut, linearization and profiling operations an unnecessary waste of maintenance and production time. With HydraFix® you need only one color management queue per paper category: coated, uncoated, canvas etc.

Thanks to the small number of patches required and to the filtering ability of Hydra®, printers can build and update their press profile without the need for tedious, long and costly dedicated profiling sessions.

THE NEW GENERATION OF PROFILING SOFTWARE

Colorimetry based computations to build and ICC profile have proven to be effective with 2 limitations: works best for ink on paper applications, and requires that thousands of patches be well printed and precisely measured in order to build an accurate ICC profile.

Spectral data based profiling addresses these 2 limitations: it works well for all kinds of color applications and, since it relies on spectral data and physics, few patches are enough to build an accurate ICC profile.

Alwan’s Hydra Profiling®️, industry-first spectral profiling technology, has opened a new era where device profiling become, easy, inexpensive and accurate, regardless of the printing process and the operator's color skills.
