New Remote Director is Spectrally-Based;

Delivers Long List of Unprecedented Advantages to Commercial and Package Printers, Publishers, and Prepress Professio= nals

New York, NY -- May 21, 2008 -- Integrated Color Soluti= ons (ICS) today announces a new version of its Remote Director proofing system = that the company expects will bring dramatically positive changes throughout the graphic arts industry. By moving Remote Director’s color computing to processors so powerful they are used for advanced scientific and sophistica= ted 3D and gaming applications, ICS engineering teams were able to move to a spectrally-based[1] color system and also add numerous, previously unavailable, functions to the graphic arts workflow.

This newest version of Remote Director will be a featured solution at drupa 2008, being held in Dusseldorf, Germany, May 29-= June 11, at ICS exhibit Hall 4, Booth F4= 7.

Remote Director, alre= ady known for real-time monitor synchronization, verification and collaboration; and cross-platform integration with any graphic arts workflow; now offers an improved toolset based on worldwide customer needs and requests. One of sev= eral important new functions is spectral spot color definition and blending, offering the most accurate color representation whether a color is a solid = tint or blended accent to a CMYK image.

“We had many color accuracy hurdles addressed already, but we were hitting a wall in processing power when it came to applying these advanceme= nts within Remote Director while at the same time retaining the same level interface performance” explains Bob Burnett, Remote Director Product Manager. “And then around four years ago, as graphic card processors began making significant leaps in response to the gaming industry, we start= ed looking at utilizing these powerful GPU processors for our spectral color p= rocessing.” The result is the core technology now powering Remote Director in this new version.

As the acceptance of = monitor proofing has continued to grow, printers, prepress specialists, publishers, agencies and brand owners worldwide have chosen and installed Remote Direct= or as their monitor proofing solution of choice. Remote Director offers so much time-saving and file integrity assurances – including cross platform = and cross monitor color accuracy to any color standard, including SWOP, GRACoL = and Fogra, as well as real-time collaboration – that increasing numbers of workflow system suppliers and their customers are moving away from, or completely eliminating, hard copy proofs and the courier services that carr= ied them.

What’s New in Remote Director <= /span>

There are a number of significant architectural refinements and feature additions in the new vers= ion that keep Remote Director at the forefront of monitor-based proofing. The m= ost significant of these include:

·            Web Access = to Proofs
Filter and browse all of the proofs that you have created or have been invi= ted to review. Sort proofs to fin= d the highest priority work, view proof image statuses, or even review individual image annotations, all from a standard web browser. Then, click on a proof image to open it up in Remote Director for a color accurate view.

·            = ;         Monitor Uniformity Mapping
Images proofed in Remote Director can now be color managed for up to 121 regions per monitor. This eliminates imperfections in uniformity that larger LCD monitors suffer from and improves color transitions of images stretched across multiple monitors.

·            = ;         GPU Technol= ogy
Remote Director makes direct use of the tremendous computational powers of today’s graphics card processors (GPU). By moving the complex 3-dimensional color modeling engine and other processes to the GPU, a whole host of new capabilities, some running today and still more being developed, have been opened up to virtual proofing.

·            = ;         Spectral Sp= ot Color Definition and Blending
Remote Director utilizes spectral color definitions for proofing spot color= s. Whether the color is a solid tint, blended spot colors or a blended accent = to a CMYK image, spectral blending give the most accurate color representation.<= o:p>

·            = ;         System Certification
Remote Director can run a certification process evaluating itself on whatev= er hardware it is being run to verify that it is showing accurate color accord= ing to SWOP, GRACoL, Fogra or even a custom standard defined by the user.<= /o:p>

·            = ;         Virtual 10-= Bit
Remote Director turns any 8-bit monitor into a high quality 10-bit monitor. With Virtual 10-bit technology, Remote Director actually increases the monitor’s color fidelity and eliminates banding.
