IT8 target question (and V700 vs V750 question)

[lagouyn]

Hello,

Today I upgraded from an old version of SilverFast AI to the latest AI Studio with IT8, print calibration, and multi-exposure. I downloaded the new files.

I don't think my original version came with an IT8 target. Will my upgrade include a target, to be physically mailed to me?

I tried using a Monaco Systems it8 target with Silverfast's IT8 calibration...I scanned it and it identified the various colors with dashed boxes in the appropriate locations. However, after the scan I was presented with a dialog to Open a file from my Silverfast's IT8 Reference folder on my Mac. There was no file there to open, so I hit cancel, and then the IT8 calibration window's status text changed to "Impossible to locate the reference file".

Could someone advise on this?

Also, the version of Silverfast that I ordered is for the Espon Perfection V750. However, when I scan a document, the resulting window's title is "SilverFast Epson PerfectionV700" (rather than V750)...is this expected, or incorrect?

Thanks.

Dear Allan,

Our targets are sold separately, they are not included with any version of the software. If you have ordered a separate target, it should be delivered to you by mail. If you have not ordered yet, you can do so on our online store at: http://www.silverfast.com/show/store/en.html

To be able to make an IT8 calibration you need a standard compliant IT8 target and a reference file. Monaco targets are standard compliant but their reference file is not, hence those targets can only be used with the Monaco calibration software.

The Epson Perfection V700 / V750 are the same scanner, the V750 include other film holder and a different software package than the V700 but the scanner is the same.
