Simple and Precise Calibration

The EIZO-
developed 
ColorNavigator 
software makes 
calibration both 
simple and accurate. 
Instead of having 
to judge colors and 
do time-consuming 
inputting, or hav-
ing a specialist do 
it for you, all you need to do is input target values for brightness, 
white point and gamma. ColorNavigator works with a wide range 
of measurement devices to directly utilize the 16-bit LUT of Col-
orEdge monitors for accurate and reliable calibration in minutes. 
The latest version of ColorNavigator is always available as a free 
download at www.eizo.com.

Industry’s First Self-Calibrating Monitors

The ColorEdge CG245W 
and CG275W come with an 
industry-first built-in calibration 
sensor. The sensor is housed 
within the monitor’s bezel and 
swings out only when calibrat-
ing. This eliminates the need 
for an external sensor, lets you 
calibrate when your computer is off, and saves time by letting you 
schedule the monitor to self-calibrate while you are not working. 
To ensure predictable and accurate calibration across the screen, 
EIZO calibrates the center of the screen at its factory and correlates 
the built-in sensor to these results. Furthermore, if you are working 
with other ColorEdge monitors and need to standardize calibration, 
you can use the bundled ColorNavigator software to correlate the 
calibration results of the built-in sensor to the results obtained from 
an external calibration device. 

Paper White Measurement

ColorNavigator offers a 
paper white measurement 
function for color match-
ing between the image 
on your monitor and the 
image on your printouts. By 
measuring the white of the 
paper to be used for print-
ing, ColorNavigator will 
automatically set the target 
values for brightness and 
white point accordingly.

Light Box Brightness Adjustment

With ColorNavigator and a measurement device, you can set your 
light box’s* brightness to the desired value. ColorNavigator can 
then take the resulting brightness level and set it as the monitor’s 
target calibration value to ensure uniform brightness between your 
monitor and light box when color proofing. 

*Currently supports JUST Color Communicator 1 and 2 only.

Profile Validation 

This function mea-
sures the monitor’s 
color patches to 
determine the dif-
ference between the 
Delta-E value of the 
monitor’s profile and 
the actual displayed 
values of the moni-
tor. This allows for verifying the results of calibration or checking 
to see how much the monitor’s colors have varied since it was last 
calibrated. ColorNavigator can also measure CMYK color patches 
(GRACoL 2006 Coated #1 and FOGRA39) and output them as 
Adobe Photoshop or Acrobat files.* The measurement results of 
both the monitor and profile for each color patch are indicated in 
either CIELAB or XYZ values, and the difference between them 
expressed in Delta-E. The Delta-E variation can be shown in a 
graph and compared with previous results. ColorNavigator even 
exports profile validation results as a PDF for easy distribution 
among work sites, printers, or clients. 

*Photoshop CS1 or later or Acrobat Professional 7 or later are required for 
Macintosh, and Photoshop CS1 or later or Acrobat Professional 8 or later are 
required for Windows. 

Post-Calibration Color Adjustment

Sometimes due to variations in out-
put from different printers or the 
special requirements of a project, it 
is necessary to fine-tune an other-
wise perfectly calibrated monitor to 
match target colors. ColorNaviga-
tor lets you easily adjust hue and saturation for all six primary and 
secondary colors (RGB and CMY), as well as white balance, bright-
ness, black level and gamma, to achieve the closest possible visual 
match. For confirmation of calibration results or to achieve more 
accurate manual adjustments, a test pattern screen with a grayscale 
ramp, low tones, high tones and gamma values can be displayed.
