- SilverFast - Quality Scanner and Digital Imaging Software made in Germany since 1986
Testfire® is a revolutionary system that measures and controls the ceramic firing process becoming a useful tool which helps ceramic experts in a way never done before. Combined with SilverFast Ai Studio scanner software it provides spectacular results.
Testfire is the ideal tool in order to control the ceramic firing process. The way it works is quite simple. Two tiles, previously purchased on the Testfire Store, are fired at different temperatures on the customer’s kiln. The green patch included on those tiles will change its color when the tiles are being fired. The color changing of those color patches say a lot about the customer’s kiln and firing process. Some additional information, like firing temperature and duration, will help to adjust your firing process to an optimum.
Finally the fired tiles have to be scanned and uploaded on the Testfire server, getting back the customer a completed report about the way its kiln works and how its ceramic firing process could be improved.
Thanks to its exclusive Auto IT8 Calibration tool, SilverFast Ai Studio enables to obtain consistent colors just by initially calibrating the scanner. Getting true colors is the key for having back a perfect report from the Testfire server. The unique features included with SilverFast Ai Studio turn this goal in a full success.
Besides other helpful tools such as Multi-Exposure and 16bit histogram, our software includes the awarded Auto IT8 Calibration*. It’s main highlights are:
Automatic process with just 2 mouse clicks
Consistent and predictable colors
Automatic frame detection
The combination of SilverFast Ai Studio software and revolutionary Testfire system totally changes the mode kilns act, optimizing the ceramic firing process to a level, that has never been reached before.
* Note: In order to use the Auto IT8 Calibration, a separated IT8 Target is necessary.
