The Printing industry can now finally rely on accurate PANTONE Color representations on affordable ink jet printers. AbsoluteProof's unique Multicolor engine with the Extrachrome? ink set now expands the color gamut and capability of standard Epson Stylus PRO 4000, 7600 or 9600 printers to achieve accurate simulations of over 90% of the PANTONE color library. For the second time AbsoluteProof sets the worldwide industry benchmark. The company developed the world's first practical Hexachrome ink jet proofing solution in 2002.Now they offer the first and only solution to achieve an accurate color representation of over 90% of the PANTONE color library in a proofing workflow."The issue of PANTONE color matching in digital proofing workflows has been a significant hurdle for the printing industry from Day One" said Hugo Kristinsson, CEO of Gimle. "It is evident from the IPA Proofing Roundup earlier this year where 26 proofing systems attempted to match ONLY 11 PANTONE colors, results varied from DeltaE 2.9 to 20.59, returning an disappointing average DeltaE of 9.57.
We are pleased to be able to offer our clients a solution that can accurately reproduce the WHOLE 1114 PANTONE colors with average DeltaE as low as 1.87. The Printing Industry and Design Professionals have never had more color and control available at their fingertips, they can now reproduce PANTONE colors with ease."Field-testing of the AbsoluteProof Extrachrome system has demonstrated accurate PANTONE color simulations for over 93% of the PANTONE colors under a DeltaE 3, the system has proofed it self to be robust and reliable and capable of processing over 100 special colors in the same job. Even with standard inks this system can simulate over 85% of the PANTONE colors below DeltaE 3.AbsoluteProof is a high quality, low cost, digital proofing application with licensed PANTONE? color libraries that delivers Rip integrity and color integrity, It can take input files directly from the Plate or Imagesetter Rips as well as design applications. AbsoluteProof then recombines and color manages the information before sending the output file to the printer. In an imagesetter workflow AbsoluteProof gives an extremely precise simulation of how the job will reproduce on the press, showing PANTONE colors, halftones, all traps, overprints, fonts, etc.
In fact every file attribute that is matchable on a press. AbsoluteProof's advanced features include; 6-channel linearization feature allowing individual inks to be ?tuned' for optimizing proofer output, Halftone proofing with full control of Dot Gain, Remote proofing and consistency checking via support provided for GretagMacbeth's ProfileMaker MeasureTool.

Digital Photography, Is It Right For You?
Lately, people have been asking me the same question over and over, "Should I buy a digital camera?" And for everyone that asks, I have the perfect answer. Maybe.There are many factors that go into the decision about going digital, not the least being whether you are a professional or amateur photographer. You need to ask yourself how you will use your photographs. Will they be for your website, magazine articles, stock agencies, advertising or something else? You then have to do some research and see what each of these markets asks for. Stock agencies love digital, as do many ad agencies, but most magazines want slides.Do you want to stay with film? Great.
Film still gives better image quality than digital. However, in a year or two digital will probably rival film. You also need to consider that film manufacturers are reducing the range of film they produce. I was amazed when a few months ago the owner of my local camera store told me that Kodak is going to discontinue Kodachrome...

Unique Laser Treatment Gives Acne and Scarring a "One-Two Punch": SmoothbeamTM Offers Non-Ablative Approach to Reducing Acne Breakouts, Plumping Scars
New York, NY (ContentDesk) June 30, 2005 -- Four out of five adolescents and adults are affected by acne. Sometimes the condition is still active, or sometimes a former case of acne has left its indelible mark of scarring. In fact, acne is the most commonly diagnosed skin condition and the single most prevalent condition treated by dermatologists in the U.S. today. Yet, according to Joshua Fox, MD, founder of Advanced Dermatology PC, a novel laser treatment called SmoothbeamTM is providing new hope to those who suffer from acne, as well as those who are still scarred by it.
"The Smoothbeam laser is unique in that its single technology can accomplish two completely different objectives where acne is concerned," Dr. Fox explains. "First, it encourages the production of collagen beneath the skin, which plumps up the surface and smoothes out scarring. Second, it can actually shrink the follicles of the sebaceous glands, which are overactive in cases of acne. That reduces the amount...

Lasers and High-Performance Cutting
When is a balloon not a balloon? When it's a technical problem, a design challenge, and an inspiration for the development of new and more efficient cutting equipment. EdgeWISE Tools founder Pat Momany ? didn't start out at the high-tech edge of the fabric cutting industry. Problems that need solving get his inventive juices flowing, and his penchant for saying, "Sure, we can do that," before figuring out how, add up to an enterprise that's reinvented itself several times. Now with that trademark inventiveness and can-do attitude, Seattle-based EdgeWISE is pushing the limits of fabric cutting, in a system custom-designed to cut out the huge scientific balloons NASA plans to send to the very edge of Earth's atmosphere.From boats to balloonsIt started with boats. " I was in the printing business in 1985, and met a lady who was putting vinyl names and logos on the sides of boats," Momany relates.
"Gerber had released a 15-inch vinyl text cutter, but she was doing graphics and logos...
