<big>The Maxwell Client program makes it easy to update the Maxwell color repository with measurements and profiles.</big> It "bridges the gap" between the cloud and your computer. Maxwell Client 4 directly supports the i1Pro, i1IO table and iSis hardware, and uploads measurements right into Maxwell Tracks for immediate use anywhere in the world. If needed, hotfolders can be created and monitored so you can measure color using practically any hardware and software that can save measurements into a file format Maxwell can understand (which is continually expanding).
