Loyalty Pays! Colour Confidence Delivers the GretagMacbeth Customer Loyalty Programme

Birmingham UK, 1st December, 2005 - Colour Confidence, the leading independent colour management specialists, are today announcing their central role in the GretagMacbeth Customer Loyalty Programme.

The Customer Loyalty Programme has been launched to allow existing Eye-One users to upgrade to the latest technology and receive a discount based on the age of their existing system.

Customers who wish to take advantage of the Customer Loyalty Programme can visit www.colourconfidence.com/gmbloyalty and order the appropriate solution at Colour Confidence’s standard web price. The new Eye-One will then be shipped to the customer and when the old Eye-One system is returned, the customer will be refunded the trade-in value.

If the existing Eye-One was purchased in 2004/2005, you are entitled to a 50% discount on the new solution. If the purchase was made in 2003, 40%, and if you bought your Eye-One in 2001/2002, 30%.This offer is open now and closes on the 31st January 2006.

“The customer loyalty programme is the perfect opportunity for existing Eye-One owners to upgrade to the new version,” commented Mike Smyth, UK Sales Manager, GretagMacbeth. “We feel that it is extremely important to offer our loyal and long standing customers a simple and inexpensive upgrade path, so that they can enjoy the superior performance and increased functionality of the latest introductions to the EyeOne Range.”

Why Upgrade?
The new Eye-One system has improved both speed and ease-of-use. It now has the capability to measure up to 300 patches per minute, and the addition of the backboard and ruler makes the Eye-One even more user friendly. Further benefits include the new editing module in the Eye-One match software, allowing users to edit profiles quickly and easily. All new Eye-One’s also come with a soft carry case; this accommodates all the components of the Eye-One including the Ruler and backing board and is the perfect way to keep you Eye-One safe.

In addition, the new version of the Eye-One will allow users to make the most of the new iO. The Eye-One iO is an automated measurement table that will provide fast, controlled test chart reading, that will increase productivity, lower the level of operator skill required, and reduce the risk of errors, thereby ensuring consistent and reliable results with the Eye-One Pro spectrophotometer.

Eye-One iO provides fast measurements in under three minutes for:

Reflective charts
Substrates up to 10mm thick – ideal for textile, ceramic or decor printing

While all Eye-One systems are compatible with the iO, the greatest benefits will be derived when it is used with the latest Revision B Eye-One models, that have been shipping since March 2005.

“The Eye-One has been the most successful, professional level colour management solution in the market for some time. The new version has added good value to the products, bringing a welcome ease of use and enhanced patch reading capabilities. Ensuring that existing customers can have access to this new solution is a fantastic way of saying thank you to customers who have trusted the Eye-One to deliver colour accurate results time and time again.” said Geoffrey Clements, Managing Director, Colour Confidence.
