Gretag Macbeth will showcase a number of new products for creative professionals, colour pre-press, and the pressroom at Drupa 2004.
It is said to be suitable for high volume production, such as pre-press, high-speed digital printing and fine art printing, where speed, accuracy and ease-of-use are essential when constantly measuring test charts and updating colour management profiles.
Iris Mangelschots, vice president and general manager of GretagMacbeth's digital imaging group, said: "Eye-One Isis captures full spectral data so you have the most complete colour description - a critical element for the digital colour communication network in attaining accurate colour throughout the print production workflow." She added: "At the same time, the Eye-One Isis vision system guided paper feed concept sets a new standard in terms of ease of handling.
Users simply feed the chart in to the device and our unique visual recognition system automatically detects and aligns accordingly.

Managing Multi-Colour Workflow Is More Predictable
Gretag Macbeth has extended its Profilemaker 5 family with PM5 Publish Plus.
In addition, there is no need to cut large test charts or print on multiple pages - a true production time-saver for increased operational efficiency." Eye-One Isis, now in its final testing phase, automatically begins the measurement process as soon as a chart is inserted.
There is no need to press any buttons.
With its built-in vision system, Eye-One Isis is claimed to have a high tolerance for how charts are aligned as they are fed in to the system and automatically corrects for misalignment.
That helps minimise handling errors and eliminates the frustration of having to re-feed misaligned charts, according to GretagMacbeth.
With its design, the standard A4+ version of Eye-One Isis can measure an A4 test chart with up to 1,100 patches.
With the A3+ version, charts with as many as 2,500 patches can be printed on a single A3 page, eliminating the time consuming task of cutting charts and feeding multiple pages, said the company.
In addition, the contactless measurement system will not scratch or damage test charts and the LED illumination ensures a long lifetime with very little maintenance, it is claimed.
Eye-One Isis handles substrates from 0.08mm to 0.45mm in thickness.
First shipments of the new Eye-One Isis are planned for July.
