Maxwell Client - high volume for production
The Maxwell Client allows the driving of measurement instruments on your regular production computer, and uploading into the Maxwell website.
This is a stand-alone app that interfaces between the Maxwell online database and your production environment.
It "bridges the gap" between the web browser and your computer. The Client directly supports the X-Rite iSis, i1Pro and i1IO hardware, and uploads measurements automatically into Maxwell Tracks for immediate use anywhere in the world. It can also make use of hot folders to upload measurements from other instruments. We are continually expanding Maxwell's compatibility with industry hardware and software.
The Client is designed specifically to be able to run in the background on the user's computer, and:
- Drive measurement instruments for measuring profile targets, color charts and other color data,
- Monitor the computer's connections to printers, displays, measurement instruments, etc.
- Gather environmental data from humidity and temperature sensors (coming soon)
- Automatically upload active monitor profiles into Maxwell monitor tracks
Full information on using the Client is here.
Online upload
If you only have a few measurements to upload, or you're just getting started, you can upload measurement files one-at-a-time in the Maxwell interface online.
To learn how to create a device (like a printer) or start a new track, go to Maxwell Getting Started
- When viewing the Track Details pane, click on the "Upload Measurements" button in the bottom left corner (under 'Actions')

- Once the file is selected, click the "Upload File" button to initiate the upload to Maxwell.
To repeat the process with more measurements:
