Knee deep in the PMA trade show a few interesting things are afoot. I am probably leaving a few things out as well....
Monaco has modified their pricing on Profiler so that it is divided into a version with much the same feature set as GretagMacbeth ProfileMaker Pro (std kit without n-color and digicam). Seems to make direct price and feature comparisons easier.
GretagMacbeth has revamped the Eye-One line:
Eye-One Monitor is to be replaced by Eye-One Display, a smaller colorimeter-based unit based on Sequel technology (more below). Price now in the $250 range
Eye-One Photo = reflective Eye-One unit (as was in the Eye-One Pro package) + RGB print profiling - priced around $1500
Eye-One Publish = reflective Eye-One unit (as was in the Eye-One Pro package) +RGB/CMYK profiling (basically renamed Eye-One Pro/Match bundle)
Eye-One Beamer = reflective Eye-One unit + special holder & software for calibration & profiling of overhead display systems - cool!
New ambient light adaptor (works with NEW eye-ones only) allows "hold it up and take a reading" of light sources. I think they're included with all new Eye-Ones except the display
Also - big news. GretagMacbeth announced the intent to acquire Sequel Imaging this week. Apparently this won't affect OEM deals, etc. There are a lot of Sequel devices in multiple forms available through many different OEM deals so this is an interesting piece of news...
As far as I have been able to tell they are talking about a mid-April ship date for the new products..
back to the floor I go.... I try to pass on anything else I find....
Regards,
Steve
