Color Management

In 2001, Pantone began marketing affordable digital color control solutions to graphic artists, designers, photographers and printers. Delivering an unparalleled level of on-screen accuracy, 2004 saw the introduction of two monitor calibration solutions: one for consumers and photo hobbyists, the other for professionals.

Continuing its commitment to the development of accessible color control solutions, Pantone entered the inkjet market in 2003 with PANTONE ColorVANTAGE(R), a family of premium inkjet products including inks, papers and specially developed printer profiles. The products are designed for applications where the most accurate color reproduction and the widest possible range of color are required.

In January 2006, Pantone announced a strategic partnership with GretagMacbeth (now X-Rite Incorporated) to make color management more accessible for a wide variety of users from consumers to professionals. PANTONE huey(TM), an easy-to-use, affordable monitor calibration device, is a true breakthrough in terms of form, function and usability, and is the first device to continually adjust for ambient light conditions. PANTONE huey(TM)PRO provides professionals and photo enthusiasts with the same functionality as huey, plus multiple monitor calibration and customizable profiles.
