Introduction

The Colour-Science Image Editor is used to produce the best possible print quality on any digital printer. Two main features assure high print quality. The Colour-Science Color Management combined with our excellent i2e image enhancement technology.

The Image Editor is designed for very fast work. You work much faster then with traditional software like Photoshop or similar. Images are displayed already precorrected and all additional correction and image saving can be done very fast with the minimum of human movements possible. Corrections can be made using the mouse-wheel and saving is made using the right mouse button.

Today we observe two main problems with digital printing:

1st Problem:

It is difficult to control the image quality on different digital printers so that contrast, density and saturation are always the same. Even if a printer is well calibrated there are quite big differences from one printer to the other because linearising a grayscale does not mean that the colors of a print look the same. There are big differences between ink-jet printers and digital printers printing on silver-halide paper

-> the Colour-Science solution:

Every printer has to be ICC profiled. This makes sure that the print qualities of all the different printers match one (industry) standard. The fact that the printers are carefully profiled opens you the doors to the professional market.

2nd Problem:

It is not possible for the lab to print the same customer image on different digital printers with the same result because every printer uses a different image enhancement system.

-> the Colour-Science solution:

The i2e image enhancement is put in front of the printers. This way the image enhancement is the same for every printer. The image enhancement of the digital printers is switched off.
