GretagMacbeth and Creo extend collaboration

Creo Inc. and GretagMacbeth, a manufacturer of color management solutions for the graphic arts, announced that they have expanded their partnership. In addition to the award-winning Eye-One Pro solutions already bundled with the Creo Profile Wizard Mio software, the GretagMacbeth iCColor 200 series automated chart readers will now be offered to Creo customers as a bundle option with Profile Wizard Digi v1.0, Creo’s new color management software specifically designed for the digital printing market.

iCColor 200 has been selected by Creo as the measurement device of choice for their Profile Wizard Digi software. This new bundle, which is targeted at digital printers worldwide, especially those using Xerox DocuColor presses, provides fully automated measurements. Creo will continue to bundle the GretagMacbeth Eye-One Pro with Profile Wizard Mio which provides color management solutions for offset printers, and additionally offer their customers the option to add an iCColor 200 series to their color management system.

“It was our goal to create a new ProfileWizard package with a high quality, accurate color measurement device that was both fast and automatic for customers that need to create numerous profiles on a daily basis,” said Eliza Leung, product manager at Creo, Inc., “In addition to the existing bundles with the Eye-One Pro device, GretagMacbeth’s iCColor 200 series fit these requirements perfectly as it offers an extraordinary automation of chart-reading in high volume environments. Extending our partnership with GretagMacbeth allows us to offer our customers a range of color measurement solutions – the Eye-One Pro handheld device or the iCColor automated chart readers – that will fit their specific production and volume requirements.”
