### 1) Introduction

Coraye allows to add new possibilities for the use of your I1 Studio or ColorMunki such as:

1. You can customize the number of patches to print.
2. You can choose the number of grayscale to optimize grayscale images.
3. You can create a calibration before the characterization.
4. You can print the charter in one go
5. You can pick a color
6. You can capture a light
7. ... and you can use a ruler to read small patches...

### 2) Reading with a ruler

To use the I1 Studio with a ruler, you have to set the option "With ruler (smaller patches)" = "Yes"

The generated target will be the same as the I1 Pro target.

### 3) Reading without ruler

To use the I1 Studio without a ruler, you have to set the option "With ruler (smaller patches)" = "No"

The generated patches will be bigger to allow the reading of the target without ruler.\
As you can see, you will need more sheet of paper to print your target.
