Imation's award-winning digital Rainbow™ color proofing system provides sophisticated color control, superior color fidelity and output flexibility for reliable proofing without film. The system consists of controller and color management software for Macintosh™ and PC platforms, and thermal dye-sublimation proofers that make continuous-tone proofs directly from PostScript and other digital file formats. The Rainbow system also provides connectivity features to enable efficient remote proofing along with color-management from machine to machine and site to site. Recent industry acknowledgments for excellence include the 1995 GATF InterTech Technology Award, the 1996 MacWorld World Class Winner for high-end dye-sub printers, and the 1996 Seybold Editor's Award for Market Impact.
