Colour Confidence, the colour management specialists, has released the ColorVision PrintFIX PRO. The introduction brings spectro-based printer profiling below £400 for the first time and reflects the continued trend in colour management of falling price and increased emphasis on ease-of-use.
ColorVision PrintFIX PRO is based around the new Datacolor 1005 Spectrocolorimeter patch reading hardware and stand-alone software. The new software creates printer profiles that support all RGB-driven inkjet, dye-sub, thermal, chemical and laser printers. Spectro technology enables support of a wide range of media, especially third-party fine art papers and third-party inks.
PrintFIX PRO is designed to meet the needs of discerning professionals as well as prosumers, and bridges the gap between high-end, expensive spectrophotometers and less sophisticated entry-level solutions. PrintFIX PRO promises results for anyone needing colour fidelity at an affordable price.
PrintFIX PRO mirrors our ambition for the colour management market. It takes another step in lowering the price of professional level solutions and continues to build upon the progression of easy-to-use technology, commented Geoffrey Clements, Managing Director, Colour Confidence. With these key ingredients there is every chance that PrintFIX PRO will match the success of the Spyder and become the mass-market printer profiling product of choice.
The new DataColor1005 Spectrocolorimeter is a native USB device, so there are fewer cables and no external power supply requirements. When not in use, PrintFIX PRO rests on a calibration base, which incorporates the devices calibration tiles. These tiles set the instruments grey, black and white calibration which is critical in maintaining instrument accuracy over time.
