Dear Customer
In the past years, colormanagement made a big leap
forwards. In the day to day work in graphic arts and
industry, color is a central issue. More and more
tasks, previously performed by specialists, are now
performed by creative professionals. The prepress
area on the other hand is confronted with the rising
demands in case of speed and quality. The solution
for both parties is to harmonize color performance
and reproduction between all parts of the workflow.
That is the only way to ensure a consistent color
transformation from the creative professionals to
the final print or product. The heart of this workflow
is - of course - the monitor that acts as a creative
tool on the one hand and as a precise judgement
instance on the other hand. Photographers need an
exact color control in real-time, prepress professio-
nals demand a precise reproduction and simulation
of CMYK data while graphic designers want to judge
their spot colors on the screen.
Consequently, Quato offers solutions that match the
requirements of all the different users.
