WYSIWYPrint Color Management
Carolyn Bickford
THE HOLY GRAIL of color publishing is to have your final print match the image you created on your monitor. Praxisoft's new MatchLink system takes a giant step toward that goal by using ColorSync 2.0 profiles to create custom color palettes for graphics applications. These palettes contain a range of colors limited to that which your targeted output device can reproduce. If you switch printers, a MatchLink Extender bundle for Adobe Illustrator and PageMaker, QuarkXPress, and Macromedia FreeHand will warn you if the new printer can't output selected colors correctly. Match-Link Admin, $3,500; MatchLink Extenders bundle, $329; Color Compass 2.0, $329. Praxisoft: 800-557-7294 or 703-729-3391; http://www.praxisoft.com/.
