Color technology company FineEye Color to distribute new CRM

FineEye Color Solutions, Grand Rapids, Mich., was named the exclusive worldwide distributor for the Voglesong COLORef 1.0, a new ISO-compliant and NIST-traceable Color CRM (Certified Reference Material) used to verify the performance of spectrophotometers, colorimeters and densitometers that are used for color measurement throughout the print production process. The new CRM, readable by a full range of scanning and point measurement devices, is $300.

  Says John Sweeney, vice president, Business Development, “This is a must-have verification tool for every print operation today. Spectrophotometers are ubiquitous – in prepress, proofing, the ink room, and the pressroom – and, most importantly, in the hands of customers deciding whether or not your job conforms to their color standards. The trouble is, different devices from different makers and even different models from the same manufacturer often don’t agree. Which device is right and how do you know? That’s what Voglesong COLORef instrument verification is all about. It can be easily read by scanning, strip-reading and hand-held spectrophotometers, and will tell you which ones are accurate, which require recalibration or, perhaps, should be upgraded or replaced.”
