ColorShuttle bridges the gap between the browser and your computer, and directly supports X-Rite i1Pro and iSis hardware. Upon measuring a target, ColorShuttle automatically uploads the measurement 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.
