FREE ICC profile training plus a colour management bundle for under $1,000!
ColoRite Equipment, Australia and New Zealand’s foremost supplier of tools for measuring and managing colour for graphic and photographic reproduction, announces the first sub-AUD$1,000 bundle to effectively address ICC colour profiling for Adobe PhotoShop users. This offer includes the award-winning Monaco/X-Rite OPTIX monitor calibration device, which you can now buy online here:
As all PhotoShop users will know, often the colours seen on the monitor differ markedly from those in the photo, proof or printed product. This can be very frustrating, costly and time-consuming when fixes are sought after the problem is identified.
Announcing the EZcolor + VTC bundle
In a unique bundle comprising of Monaco EZcolor profiling software, a Monaco/X-Rite OPTIX display calibrator and Virtual Training Corporation’s “ICC Colour Management in PhotoShop” CD, all graphic and photographic operators have access to low-cost, simple ICC profiling to ensure colour fidelity throughout the production workflow.
Most serious designers, photographers, artists, and imaging experts use ICC, (International Color Consortium), profiles in their work because these profiles provide reliable, predictable color matching across all kinds of input and output devices - from CRT and LCD monitors to scanners, ink-jet and laser printers, and printing presses. Yet for many Mac and PC users, the question is whether building custom profiles, rather than using visual estimation and the generic profiles that come with many printers, is worth the time, trouble, and expense. There are a number of higher-priced packages that provide ICC-profile creation, and there are ICC profiling services available where a technician with a spectrophotometer and profiling software creates a custom profile for you.
Monaco Ezcolor is the quickest and easiest way for anyone to control colour. This award-winning software builds ICC monitor, scanner, and printer profiles that bring accurate and consistent colour across devices and paper types. This puts an end to trial and error colour corrections and wasted ink and paper by ensuring your devices deliver the color you want.
EZColor has won many US awards including Mac Design magazine’s ‘Best Color Management Software,’ Macworld’s 4 _out of 5 Mice and PC Pro magazine’s 6 out of 6 stars.
Monaco OPTIX is a highly accurate measuring device for both CRT and LCD screens including Apple’s Cinema screens. Like EZcolor, OPTIX has won many awards from Mac Design, Photo & Electronic Imaging and PC World (Best Buy). There is also a Pro version that enables matching of workgroup monitors and editing of ICC profiles.
Virtual Training Corporation (VTC) is the world’s leading provider of online and CD training for software applications. 
ICC Colour Management in PhotoShop by Rita Amladi consists of 57 specific lessons totaling 5 hours of training, using intuitive QuickTime movies with sound. It is Mac and PC - compatible and normally retails at $149.95.
The training CD is Free!
ColoRite Equipment has negotiated a deal with VTC whereby the training CD is included with EZcolor software and the OPTIX at no extra cost. The total amount an incredible $950 including gst and delivery.
“Purchased separately, these items would cost over $1,200,” said David Mulligan, managing director of ColoRite Equipment. “This must represent the first time that a workable ICC profiling package has been made available for under $1,000 in Australia and New Zealand. Whilst our more advanced solutions such as the Monaco Profiler Gold bundle offer greater accuracy and versatility, they cost several thousands of dollars. The EZcolor + OPTIXX + VTC bundle finally solves the most common problem for the creative community – lack of predictable, consistent colour.”
