Integrated Color Solutions Again Breaks New Ground in Color Accurate Remote Proofing
Monday 14. September 2009 - Rollout Begins with SDK Plug-In Modules for OEMS and Integrators
Almost a decade after pioneering color accurate monitor proofing, Integrated Color Solutions (ICS) is fostering the next milestone in the category. Currently the only provider to offer a full range of proofing capabilities, ICS has worked diligently on a port of its award winning color proofing technology to an exciting new browser-based platform. This latest advancement will be the first and only completely browser based proofing system including its own calibration and verification from inside the browser. These plug-ins have been segmented into independent modules to handle each of ICS’s core competency technologies including award-winning calibration and verification.
Phase One Rollout: “Out of the Box” Remote Proofing Opportunity for OEM Partners
OEM and Integration partners will have the first opportunity to take advantage of the important development efforts from ICS. “Since the introduction of the first certified monitor proofing (or Virtual Proofing) system, ICS has pursued the ultimate goal of monitor proofing across the entire workflow and thus we have always subscribed to the idea of making our product as open and easy-to-integrate as possible. We’re very pleased to be able to open up our core proofing technologies even further to benefit a wider group of workflow users than ever before,” says ICS president and CEO, Jeffrey Silverman.
Silverman explains, “In the past, ICS SDKs (software development kits) only allowed integration into the Remote Director product, now any OEM partner can choose only the functionality that they require and we can provide an SDK which will allow them to integrate this technology inside their existing product or application.”

ICS Remote Director #1 Choice for Powerhouse Workflows & Companies
ICS proudly continues to be the primary choice of today’s workflow and printing companies. Among the most recent is the partnership between ICS and Enfocus to bring Remote Director configurator to the Switch Community. The combined solutions provide customers with an extremely valuable toolset – balancing both cost and extensive collaboration functionalities for virtual proofing throughout the workflow. The first implementation is being readied in Europe, where PowerSwitch will be used to extract XMP meta data such as the GWG Ad Delivery ticket from the PDF, to obtain the proof creation information including the email address of someone submitting an ad to a portal. ICS can then automatically create a proof and send the email invitation to the submitting party – who can then submit their comments and sign off via Remote Director back to PowerSwitch – for routing approved jobs back into the workflows or notifying someone to review the annotations of those rejected.
