- eXTRACAL Color Calibration Brings True Color Reproduction to
- Computers Running NeXTSTEP
-
- SAN FRANCISCO, CA, - Goldleaf Publishing, Inc. announced the
- release of eXTRACAL, a hardware and software solution that objectively
- profiles all devices used in the color reproduction process,
- including scanners, monitors, proof printers, imagesetters, and
- printing presses. When used in conjunction with eXTRACOLOR,
- Goldleaf's color correction and separation software, eXTRACAL gives
- the user a truly powerful color calibration solution for the
- NeXTSTEP environment.
-
- eXTRACAL contains a software driver for NeXT computers, and a
- hardware device that acts as both a digital colorimeter and
- densitometer. eXTRACAL hardware can be attached to the monitor with a
- suction cup or can be placed in a stand to measure reflective color
- levels. eXTRACAL can also be used as a densitometer to measure dot
- density on film and paper. This feature will appeal to service
- bureaus and print shops who need to calibrate their film processors
- and measure dot gain on press. Dot gain measurements can be
- integrated into eXTRACOLOR's separation parameter files.
-
- The eXTRACAL hardware is manufactured by Sequel Imaging. Goldleaf is
- Sequel Imaging's exclusive OEM/marketing partner for the NeXT and
- Atari computer platforms. eXTRACAL software and hardware is sold as a
- standalone product. Additionally, the eXTRACAL software module is
- bundled with eXTRACOLOR.
-
- The combination of Goldleaf's color correction and separation
- software and hardware, along with the new color publishing software
- packages (available from other NeXT developers), makes NeXTSTEP an
- attractive platform for publishing and color reproduction, both for
- service bureaus and in-house production departments.
-
-
- Use eXTRACAL hardware and software to calibrate all of your color
- input and output devices, including scanners, monitors, proof
- printers, imagesetters, and printing presses. eXTRACAL contains a
- software driver and the System Calibrator hardware that acts as both
- a digital colorimeter and densitometer. eXTRACAL can be attached to
- the monitor or placed in a stand to measure reflective or
- transmissive color levels, or can also be used to measure dot density
- on film and paper. Dot gain and color measurements can then be
- integrated into eXTRACOLOR's separation parameter files, giving the
- user a truly powerful color management solution for the NeXTSTEP
- environment.
