Colour Confidence, the independent colour management company, has today announced the availability of Pantone Colorvantage inks.
We are very pleased that X-Rite has made the decision quickly as this provides a clear position and reduces uncertainty within the market.
On the other hand it is disappointing that we will be losing two very high quality products and that there is now less choice in the market." He added: "The arrival of the Pulse in February 2005 signalled a shift in the market where high-end colour management systems were becoming available to a wider audience.
It is absolutely vital that the new X-Rite maintains its innovative product development capability as well as its pioneering approach to pricing and product positioning." Clements said that Colour Confidence will continue to offer the Pulse and Optix to its customers until production ceases.
X-Rite has committed to supporting the products for the next six years and any customers looking to take advantage of purchasing them before they disappear would benefit from a saving on the current list prices of the products.
