  • Patent number: 7869619
    Abstract: This invention is directed to a system and method for creating characterization information from a first display device that can be transmitted and used by a second display device. Computer readable instructions embodied in a computer readable medium calibrate a first display device, create an ICC color profile from said calibration information, storing the ICC color profile and sending the ICC color profile to a second display device for it to use. The calibration or characterization information can also be associated with an image file and sent to a second location for display.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7075552
    Abstract: This invention is directed to a system and method for creating characterization information and a correction map from a first display grid that can be transmitted and used by a second display grid. Computer readable instructions embodied in a computer readable medium calibrate a first display grid and create an ICC color profile and correction map from said calibration information, such that an image to be displayed across an entire display grid which is segmented into portions corresponding to each display device in the display grid is displayed with uniform luminance and color across the entire display grid. The invention can then store the correction map and characterization information and send the information to a second display device for it to use. Alternatively, the calibration or characterization information can be associated with an image file and sent to a second location for display.

  • Patent number: 6707931
    Abstract: This invention is directed to a remote press proofing system allowing a digital image to be transmitted from an originating site to a remote site, modifying the digital image, color correcting the digital image, and comparing the color space of the digital image with the color space of an output device, so that the client may view a color corrected digital image and make modifications in order to approve whether the quality and color of the sample is sufficient without having to physically travel to the printer's location.

  • Patent number: 6381343
    Abstract: This invention is directed to a remote press proofing system having the camera or cameras for digitizing the image of a press proof, for example, transmitting the digital image to a printer's terminal, color correcting the digital image, transmitting the image to a client's site also having a color correct monitor, so that the client may be view a color corrected digital image of a physical press proof sheet in order to approve whether the quality and color of the sample is sufficient without having to physically travel to the printer's location.
