Powered by X-Rite
X-Rite partners with Calibrite to serve the global photo, video, and content creation markets.
ColorChecker Studio Device
The patented, all-in-one ColorChecker Studio spectrophotometer is the only device you need to profile your monitors, projectors, scanners, mobile devices, and printers. It's compact and easy to carry in its own protective bag, so you are never without the means to create an expertly calibrated and profiled workflow, whether at home, in-studio, or on the road. ccStudio software powered by X-Rite provides an easy-to-navigate interface that delivers expertly calibrated and profiled monitors (including video presets), projectors, scanners, and printers.
ColorChecker Camera Calibration Software and Mini ColorChecker Classic Target for Cameras
Utilizing the included industry standard 24 patch target, you'll be able to create custom camera profiles (single or dual illuminant), set a custom white balance, and have a neutral starting point, no matter what light you are shooting in, for a more streamlined editing process. The software includes both a desktop application and an Adobe Lightroom Plug-In.
Monitor Calibration and Profiling
Once you take the guesswork and frustration out of making sure the color you see on your display is the color you expect from your printer, you'll save time and money and gain full creative control over your images. ColorChecker Studio uses advanced technologies to perfect the match between your display and printer.
Intelligent Iterative Profiling
An adaptive technology that produces optimized results for maximum color accuracy on each unique display every time you profile.
Ambient Light Measurement: automatically determines the optimum display luminance for comparing prints to your display, based on a measurement of the lighting conditions where prints will be viewed.
Video Standards Support: NTSC, PAL, SECAM, Rec. 709, Rec. 2020, and DCI-P3
Extended User Controls: custom control of white point, luminance, contrast ratio, and gamma. Also, measure other displays or light sources and use them as targets.
Multiple Monitor Profiling: color match up to four separate displays for color accuracy across your workflow
Profile Optimization: create unique patch sets for optimal results
Profile Validation and Reminder: view before and after results with included images or load your own, or use the 3D profile gamut viewer; set reminder intervals to re-profile your display
Profiler 3.0 Software
Profiler 3.0 features a custom printer profiling module, ensuring precise results by accounting for printer head wear, ink batch variation, paper characteristics, and environmental factors. It creates profiles tailored to each printer-and-paper combination, delivering better matches across surfaces, finishes, and sizes. Iterative patch analysis refines results in fewer steps, reducing paper and ink use while producing faster, more accurate profiles for consistent print output.

Calibrite ColorChecker Studio Reviews

Not for every system

By William D
Rated 2 out of 5
Date: 2026-04-08

I found that for a new monitor, using the native calibration system works better, and I found for some monitors, this system may not work at all. And if you're interested in printer profiles, it will not even come close to professional custom profiles - not even close, as I had hoped. Additionally, for the time and paper needed to print several color charts to scan, and repeatedly scan, you may even pay more, and spend more of your own processing time, than sending out for a professional profile.

So far not so good

I received the device and proceeded to install the software, after the software not seeing the color checker studio I rebooted and then it saw it. When I went to create a printer profile it sees the color checker and when i rotate the dial the picture on the screen matches where i have the dial pointing; however, when asked to press the button with the 3 raised dots it does nothing. Ok it could be user error so i created a support ticket. I received an email telling that the support ticket was created. The one star comes solely from the fact that it has been a day and a half since I created the ticket with no response. I consider Their products to be professional level and deserve professional level service. so far i have not experienced that. I hope itis user error but suspect the button does not work. p.s. my suspicions about the device when i saw that it mini USB and not USB C. mini USB was deprecated in 2007

I am calibrating my monitor with the Spyder X ...

I am calibrating my monitor with the Spyder X elite and perfectly pleased with the calibration quality. My question is, an i do printer profiles using the Calibrite CC Studio using the profiles created by Spyder X? Or do I need to also calibrate my monitor using the Calibrite CC Studio?
Asked by: Amril
If you're happy with the Spyder X display profiles, you can continue to use that and then use the ColorChecker Studio for printer profiling. Those two calibrations are completely independent of each other...your printer profile doesn't use the monitor profile, nor does the monitor profile use the printer profile when calibrating.

What is the best solution to calibrate a BenQ sw2700?
Asked by: Jeff
The Calibrite ColorChecker Studio should work great on the BenQ SW2700 and it adds the ability to calibrate and profile Projectors, Scanners, and Printers (RGB, CMYK, and B&W). The Calibrite Display Pro HL and Display Plus HL will also work great on the SW2700 but they are not able to create Printer profiles or Scanner profiles.
