EFI Premium Option and the EFI Premium Suite Option software add-on tools for EFI Colorproof, Screenproof and Photoxposure Proofing have been launched The new options enable the calibration and linearisation of printers and the creation of paper and reference profiles to achieve the highest quality colour output from laser or inkjet printers, claimed EFI

Both of the Premium Options feature a new version of Color Manager, which now offers support of an additional two spectrophotometers - the EFI ES-1000 and GretagMacbeth iCColor.

In addition to supporting the 928 patches from the industry standard IT8 profiling chart, both of the Premium Options now also support the European Colour Initiative (ECI) ECI2002R profiling chart, containing 1,496 colour patches, for the creation of both ICC paper and reference profiles.

Another new feature is the creation of averaged profiles from a set of multiple measurements.

"The new Premium Options enable our customers to reach a higher level of colour quality and accuracy on their devices than ever before.

The Premium Options offer invaluable and cost-effective additions to our range of proofing solutions," said Thorsten Breiding, vice president and general manager of EFI Proofing Solutions.
