Colour Confidence Press Release

Birmingham UK, 27th June, 2006 - Colour Confidence, the leading independent colour management specialists, have today announced a new development in their product offering. Customers visiting www.colourconfidence.com will now have the chance to purchase a range of high-quality Pantone and PermaJet consumables which will be valuable additions to the digital workflow of many users. “At Colour Confidence we feel this is an obvious development; our customers have been asking us to provide recommendations on consumable products and by selecting PermaJet and Pantone as key partners we are recognising the quality of their solutions.” Commented Geoffrey Clements, Managing Director, Colour Confidence. “We aim to be a one-stop-shop when it comes to accurate colour and will continue to respond to our customers in order to achieve this.”

Pantone ColorVANTAGE™ Inks
Pantone ColorVANTAGE Inks are a family of premium pigmented inkjet inks designed to ensure optimal colour performance. The inks are suited to applications that require the most accurate colour reproduction and the widest gamut such as photography, fine art reproduction and pre-press proofing.

In order to ensure the inks could be recommended, the technical team at Colour Confidence ran tests and found that these inks produce outstanding colour reproduction due to their wide colour gamut; and with a typical 20 percent cost saving on the equivalent Ultrachrome inks from Epson, delivered excellent value for money.

“Due to a realignment of the Pantone channel, Pantone were seeking new partners to distribute their ColorVANTAGE inks. As one of Pantone’s leading UK resellers, and the premier colour specialists in Europe, Colour Confidence was an obvious choice when it came to selecting the right channel for these inks.” Commented Paul Graham, Sales Manager, Pantone UK.

In addition to the ColorVANTAGE inks, Colour Confidence also stock the full range of Pantone monitor calibrators, and their industry standard publications.

PermaJet
For some time now, Colour Confidence has been stocking PermaJet’s extensive range of inkjet papers. The papers are designed to meet the needs of the rapidly growing ranks of photographers and artists who use inkjet technology, but need their prints to last and be finished in traditional textures.

Working in partnership with PermaJet, Colour Confidence has now launched the new Inkjet Paper Test Pack. By providing four sheets of paper, this pack gives users a chance to really get a feel for a paper; they can build a profile on the chosen paper and also run test prints to ascertain the different qualities of the media.

Selected by Colour Confidence’s team of experts, the papers included in the test pack are designed to demonstrate the difference that a quality media can make when attempting to achieve accurate colour. Priced at just £10/€14 ex VAT, the papers included are:

Oyster 271
Matt Plus 240
Parchment 285
Portrait 300
Fibre based gloss 295
