Eye-One Design is the newest, entry-level color management
solution designed specifically for freelance designers, small creative firms and
small print shops. It’s the perfect easiest-to-use and affordable solution for
those just starting out in color management, while still providing a flexible
platform for growth. You won’t need to make excuses for color again!
Eye-One Design allows you to quickly and easily create
accurate color profiles for all types of monitors, and easily builds profiles
for your RGB and CMYK printers utilizing our new “small test chart” technology.
New "Small Test Chart" technology
With this new technology you can quickly and easily create a perceptual color
profile by reading just a few rows of color swatches from a given output device.
Within the Eye-One Match application, you simply print the small test chart
named RGB Easy or CMYK Easy and then scan it in using your Eye-One.
How does it work? Read on if you want the technical
details:
This "small test chart" technology uses a revolutionary, patent-pending approach
which combines an internal pre-linearization and creation of a virtual large
test chart. We then apply the most sophisticated profiling techniques to fine
tune the gray axis. The resulting profile is based solely on perceptual
rendering — the ideal solution for entry level color management.
Eye-One Design provides all the tools necessary to begin
implementing a color managed workflow, and is fully upgradeable. It includes the
industry defacto standard Eye-One Pro device and award-winning Eye-One Match
software. And with the powerful Eye-One Share software that is also included,
you can take full advantage of your Eye-One system. You’ll easily be able to
measure, mix and share spot and PANTONE™ colors plus take advantage of a host of
other cool design tools. And it’s completely compatible with your favorite
design programs.
If you’re looking to get accurate on-screen color and a more
accurate color comp from your desktop printer, then Eye-One Design can get you
started. By incorporating the new "small test chart" technology, it makes
profiling both RGB and CMYK printers a snap. However, for more critical color
needs like proofing or high end photo color, upgrade to an advanced RGB or CMYK
printer profiling module or consider the Eye-One Photo, Proof or XT Bundle.
