in many aspects of color, E-Color`s Services division addresses the issues
of color quality and productivity increases that are available in
color-managed workflows as well as help companies realize increased value
from their existing visual assets, thereby turning pixels into profits.

color correction and color workflow practices for their particular
production environment.

management systems.

helping people in the print publishing world master today`s powerful color
management tools", said Mr. Kieran. "E-Color has by far the best technology
for color management on the Web, so this is a great opportunity for me to
