Capture Inspector — Control Strip Library

ChromaChecker Capture Inspector includes a Public Library with many of the common control strips used across the printing industry. Import any strip in minutes and start measuring immediately.

Accessing the Public Library

To browse and import control strips from the Public Library:

Open CC Capture and navigate to Capture Inspector
Select the Scanning Template tab
Click Public Library to open the online archive
Browse the library by manufacturer, press type, or strip name
Select the control strip you need and click Import
The strip appears in your local scanning template list, ready to use

Licensing notice: It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that any control strip imported from the Public Library is properly licensed by the vendor who created it. ChromaChecker provides the library as a convenience — licensing terms remain with the original strip vendor.

Default Scanning Templates

CC Capture ships with a set of default scanning templates for the most common control strips. These are available immediately after installation without any import required. Access them via Capture Inspector → Scanning Template tab.

The default templates include strips for major offset, digital, and flexographic workflows. If your strip is not in the defaults, search the Public Library or create a custom control strip (see Custom Control Strips documentation).

Supported Measurement Workflows

Capture Inspector supports a wide range of measurement configurations:

Inline scanning — automatic strip recognition with instruments like X-Rite iSis, i1iO, or Barbieri
Manual scanning — handheld instruments with patch-by-patch or sweep measurement
Virtual control strips — for workflows where physical strips cannot be added to the print form
Barcode-driven scanning — scan a 2D barcode on the sheet to automatically identify the job and strip
