ColorPlus launch heralds new era in affordable Monitor Calibration Devices

ColorVision ColorPlus available from £89.95 inc VAT
Brings monitor calibration devices to a wider consumer audience

Birmingham, UK, May 17, 2004 - Colour Confidence, the colour management division of TypeMaker, is set to revolutionise the consumer digital photography marketplace with the launch of ColorVision ColorPlus. Priced at a highly attractive £89.95 (including VAT), the simple to use PC Windows-based device introduces consumers to the benefits of monitor calibration devices, traditionally the preserve of professional photographers.

“The growing popularity of digital photography and imaging has created a requirement for an entry-level colour management solution that delivers true monitor accuracy. The introduction of ColorPlus brings a new dimension to the photographic experience of digital camera enthusiasts who traditionally have not been able to justify the additional spend. ColorPlus offers an affordable introduction to monitor calibration devices and a simple migration path to the Spyder and Spyder Pro portfolio,” said Geoffrey Clements, Managing Director, Colour Confidence.

With ColorPlus, consumers have the ability to see a wider range of colour, better flesh tones and more open shadows to help make images look more professional. The device includes wizard-based monitor calibration software and an award-winning, patent-protected colour hardware sensor that connects to a computer using a USB port and easily attaches to a CRT, LCD or notebook monitor.

ColorPlus also comes complete with Adobe(r) Photoshop(r) Album Starter Edition - enabling users to fix common flaws like ‘Red-Eye’, crop images and find and share photos.

ColorPlus is available from selected Jessops stores and via the Jessops website www.jessops.com.
