COLORIFIC BRINGS COLORSYNC 2 COLOR MATCHING TO THIRD-PARTY MONITORS

BOSTON, August 8, 1995--Colorific color management software is the first
product to make third-party monitors compatible with Apple's recently
released ColorSync2.

Colorific works in conjunction with the Macintosh ColorSync2 color
management system to generate an exact color profile of the user' s
monitor. The Macintosh then uses this profile to provide WYSIWYG color
printing previously available only to users of Apple-brand monitors or
expensive graphic arts peripheral hardware. Colorific delivers this
"no-surprises" color printing to Macintosh users in business, technology,
academia, and graphics arts, using any application or office suite that
prints in color.

At MacWorld, Colorific is being demonstrated by Nanao in booth 501 in the
Bayside facility and by Sony on their new GDM-200TC monitor in booth 5219
in the World Trade Center. Colorific is provided free with color monitors
from leading manufacturers including EIZO, Iiyama, Nanao, NEC, Nokia,
Mitsubishi, Optiquest, and ViewSonic. Sony has announced it will provide
Colorific in the near future.

"Eventually ColorSync2 technology will be integrated into all Apple
publishing peripherals," said Joshua Weisberg, product manager for
ColorSync2 at Apple. "Colorific provides ColorSync2 compatibility right
now to Macintosh users with third-party Apple-compatible monitors."

ColorSync for Monitors

Colorific for the Mac includes Apple's ColorSync2 color management utility
and installs it on all systems not already containing ColorSync. Colorific
enables the Macintosh to compensate for color biases in the CRT, the
graphics card, and monitor brightness settings. Colorific then ensures
that reports, presentations, transparencies, and other materials are
printed in the colors displayed.

In addition to producing more attractive printed materials, Colorific may
save on color printing costs by reducing trial-and-error draft printing.
Colorific works with every ColorSync compatible printer, including all
Adobe PostScript Level 2 printers.

The software requires no special commands to use. An on-screen color tuning
sequence allows simple set-and-forget operation. Colorific software
functions at the operating system level, and the color correction works
without additional user effort. The software recreates the color settings
each time the computer is turned on.
