 PrintFIX Pro - Spectrocolorimeter
"Within our all-new portfolio of products, PrintFIX Pro is our answer to the industry’s need for a user-friendly, flexible tool to manage color in printing.

Plus, we are offering it at price point far below its performance value," confirms Datacolor Vice President Brian Levey for the ColorVision business unit.
