Per past forum conversations about Imation's color management technology,
we want to thank you for your interest in the Imation Color Fidelity Module
(CFM). Here is an update about our CMM.
Imation's CFM is a configurable, software color management module which
optimizes the color transformations of images used in the graphic arts.
The color technology at the core of this product delivers color results
which exceed the standards established by the International Color
Consortium (ICC) and it continues to be the key value component in many of
Imation's current color proofing products and exceeds requirements of the
International Color Consortium (ICC).
Beginning with the introduction of the Rainbow color proofing system in
1992, Imation has continued to invest in and has built a leadership
position in the science of Color Fidelity. This focus has resulted in our
ability to integrate the most advanced color capabilities in our Matchprint
Professional Server and Matchprint Color RIP software products. New color
proofing products and improvements to our current offerings will continue
to incorporate the growing capabilities and features of the Color Fidelity
technology.
While Imation is pleased that many users have appreciated and benefited
from the color transformation capabilities of the desktop CFM, the decision
has been made to focus the Color Fidelity technology on areas of greater
customer benefit by continuing to expand market and performance leadership
in digital color proofing. To that end, we are no longer offering a
desktop version of the CFM.
What can you expect from CFM in the future?
The evolution of our Color Fidelity technology continues as it has since it
was first employed in the Rainbow proofing system. Some of these advances
include:
7 Full ICC compatibility
7 Integration into high performance color products and applications for
Windows platforms
7 Numerous performance enhancements for the Apple ColorSync environment
7 Full compatibility with Asian (two-byte) characters and flexible
language support in the graphical user interface (GUI).
Imation's team of color scientists and software developers continues to
plan and implement enhancements to the Color Fidelity technology. New
features of the CFM software architecture will enable graphic arts software
and system companies and programmers to easily interface to and develop
applications which embed Imation's CFM in both MacIntosh and Windows
environments.
