Maxwell PassFail
From ColorWiki
ColorShuttle bridges the gap between the browser and your computer, and directly supports X-Rite i1 and iSis hardware. It then uploads measurements directly into Maxwell Tracks for immediate use anywhere in the world.
One of the latest features of ColorShuttle is the ability to compare measurements from individual prints to a standard or reference, and then print a label indicating whether the print passes or fails the reference.
Here is a quick overview of how to use the Pass / Fail feature in ColorShuttle.

Label printing
ColorShuttle can be setup to:
