Zebra ruler for i1pro2 works with i1pro3?
« on: January 27, 2025, 04:32:27 pm »

Hi everyone,
I have been printing my photos on an Epson P800 printer for a while now, and I would like to try calibrating the printer for the 3-4 types of paper I use most frequently.
I am considering an x-rite i1pro and have a question that I hope someone knowledgeable will be able to clarify: do you know if the zebra ruler of the i1pro2 version is compatible with the i1pro3 spectrophotometer? The two devices are clearly different, but comparing images online, the scan rulers look very similar.
Perhaps someone who has tried both devices can help me clarify.
Thank you.
Regards,
Paolo

The two rulers are subtly different.
The i1Pro2 will work with the i1Pro3 ruler, but not the other way round.
(The i1Pro3 is slightly fatter at the point it clips into the ruler. The locator pins and holes are compatible though.)

Thank you, that clarified it! I found out that you can order the ruler for version 3 as a replacement part.
