ColorVision PrintFix PRO
The all-new ColorVision PrintFix PRO will be on show in the UK for the first time at Focus On Imaging. Based around the DataColor Spectrocolorimeter 1005, PrintFix PRO will create accurate and consistent profiles across multiple printers, inks, and papers. PrintFix PRO is available for just £349/€499 ex VAT, representing fantastic value for money and bringing spectro-based printer profiling to an affordable price for the first time.

In the past two years ColorVision have generated a market-leading position with the Spyder2. By delivering an easy to use, accurate and sensibly priced solution ColorVision expect the PrintFix PRO to become the Spyder2 of printer calibration.

GretagMacbeth Eye-One iO
The new Eye-One iO is an automated table designed for the fast and accurate reading of colour patches. Eye-One iO provides a new level of automation for test chart reading, providing chart measurement in under three minutes. All existing users of Eye-One devices will be able to take advantage of the Eye-One iO.

Eye-One iO is an ideal upgrade for anyone who is regularly reading patches and creating output profiles, or for anyone who demands greater accuracy through reading an increased number of patches.
