Gretag Macbeth will be showing a new entry-level version of its iCPlate plate reader for conventional and CTP plates at Drupa 2004.
Said to be about the size of a small marker, Huey provides results on LCD, laptop and CRT displays without requiring users to have any knowledge of colour management.
In addition, Huey is claimed by the company to be the first monitor calibration device to continually adjust the monitor as room lighting changes.
Iris Mangelschots, vice president and general manager of digital imaging at GretagMacbeth, said: "Huey breaks new ground in terms of size, performance and ease-of-use.
We have been able to use the technology used in our professional products, package it in a very affordable and convenient form and combine it with new software designed specifically for the non-technical user who wants accurate on-screen colour.
With Huey, wondering if your colour is right is a thing of the past." GretagMacbeth said that in less than five minutes, Huey can calibrate a user's monitor and adjust it based on their primary viewing activity - whether viewing photographs, creating graphics or browsing the web.
It costs US$89 (Eur89).
Huey is now available through GretagMacbeth resellers throughout Europe, Asia and Latin America.
GretagMacbeth has also formed a strategic marketing relationship with Pantone, giving the company exclusive rights to market the product in the United States and Canada and to co-market the product through its respective resellers throughout Europe, Asia and Latin America.
The product is compatible with Mac OSX 10.3 or higher, and Windows 2000 and XP.
