proofing software. It also provides simple tools to install/upgrade their
software as well as enhance their collection of media configurations and
color bars to support proofing to a wide variety of color standards.

12. The Certified Process for Color Confirmation checks that the proof complies
with the color standards specified for that job, helping printers and print
buyers communicate and confirm color expectations, thereby avoiding
costly errors before going to press.
The Color Confirmation Wizard allows the user to check the color

14. Users can manage spot colors from their printing processes in color
libraries using Kodak Proofing Software's intuitive Color Database Error.
Kodak also provides several standard spot color libraries such as PANTONE
CMYK libraries.

28. Need to create simulation device link profiles for process colors? The Kodak
Proofing Software Proofer Administrator gives the user the ability to create
CMYK-CMYK device links using press or source characterization data
measured from a printed ECI 2002, IT8 7/4 or IT87/3 chart.
Moreover, if the characterization charts are printed with a flexo printing
process that
uses a highlight bump or highlight minimum dot (cutoff), Kodak Proofing

thresholds? Kodak Proofing Software's Media Configuration Editor lets users
tailor Kodak Media (or their own custom media) characteristics to fit their
processes.

32. Kodak Proofing Software's High Resolution Viewer provides a true dot-for-
dot preview for an accurate representation of proofing results. Users can be
confident their final proofs will be exactly what they expect it to be.

36. Need to emulate halftone? Adjust color gradation? The Hot Folder Editor lets
users do that and more as Kodak Proofing Software's hot folders provide
flexibility to handling users content.

38. Got a favorite roll of media? No problem! Kodak Proofing Software's Media
Configuration Wizard guides users through the process of characterizing
their custom media to enable them to use it in the Certified Process for
Color Confirmation.

40. New Precision Color gives the best optimization for all colors measured
from all iterations and gives the tightest quality control. The Precision
Calibration Wizard guides users through the process of getting the tightest
calibrations for their media. It can also perform the process itself using
Kodak Proofing Software's automated calibration and measurement feature

42. Got more than one proofer on the network? Kodak Proofing Software's
Proofer Finder can locate them all providing the user the ability to manage
any proofer from a single location.

48. The Maintenance Panel in Kodak Proofing Software's Proofer Viewer gives
users the current status of their hardware, including ink levels and error
status.

50. The Proofer Viewer gives the user the status of proofs that are lined up for
printing. They can see how proofs are grouped onto sheets and can manage
proofer output using the intuitive controls provided.

54. Kodak Proofing Software gives the user cost savings through media usage
optimization. But if the user needs to arrange the proofs in their own way,
they can use the Sheet Editor to move the proofs around the sheet.
