X-Rite Device Services
X-Rite Device Services is a system utility that provides driver and hardware communication support for X-Rite's color measurement and profiling hardware, including spectrophotometers, colorimeters and monitor profiling instruments. It is typically installed as a dependency when using X-Rite color management tools like i1Profiler or ColorLogic's ZPS, or when working with X-Rite's suite of color science products. The service runs in the background to enable these applications to communicate with connected X-Rite devices.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find recent information about X-Rite Device Services or confirm whether a native Apple Silicon build is available. X-Rite was acquired by Danaher Corporation and their product portfolio has been consolidated in recent years. Contact X-Rite directly or check their support website to confirm whether a native build of Device Services is available or planned, particularly given that Apple will remove Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028). If you rely on this service as part of a color profiling workflow, also check whether the host application (i1Profiler, ColorLogic ZPS, or whichever product installed this service) has a native Apple Silicon build available — the host app's update is what will typically trigger an update to its associated services and drivers.
