Contract with Integrated Color Solutions Extended Three Years
New York – April 20, 2009 – Integrated Color Solutions (ICS) today announces that it has signed an extended three-year contract to provide Remote Director to Quebecor World, a world leader in providing complete, full-service print solutions for publishers. Remote Director, designed to increase production efficiency while reducing costs and hard copy waste associated with traditional proofing, is being used at Quebecor World’s North American premedia and print facilities.
According to Quebecor World, since implementing online monitor proofing three years ago, Remote Director has helped the company to increase production throughput, improve quality, and realize savings by reducing the number of hard copy proofs. Remote Director was selected by Quebecor World for unique accuracy, color, and real-time proofing capabilities; as well as flexible, multi-platform and multiple monitor support.
“We’re pleased to continue to have ICS Remote Director in our portfolio of best-in-class tools. In addition to achieving color-accurate proofs, Remote Director helps us to streamline our production for increased productivity that never sacrifices quality. It’s also an eco-friendly solution that helps reduce hard copy waste. By saving time and resources we’re able to continue to provide the highest level of support and service to our customers,” says Jean-François Cuillerier, Vice President, Technology/Customer Solutions, Quebecor World Inc.
“ICS highly values this partnership with Quebecor World, renowned for providing high-value results for its customers,” says Jeffrey Silverman, ICS President and CEO. “The organization’s acceptance of Remote Director technology is testimony to the strength of our product, especially in terms of its power to work within the exacting requirements of one of the most demanding quality production workflows in the world.”
About Remote Director
Remote Director makes it possible for several users, in different locations, to simultaneously look at and access the colors and contents of a proof, to navigate the layout of the proof, and with the help of small digital “sticky notes”, to discuss and comment on the proofs; making notes and giving instructions for corrections. Based on this process, a complete digital script leading into a seamless documentation of the proofing system can be made, including a legally binding “digital signature”.
Remote Director is the leader in monitor proofing systems because it has combined patented color technology with collaborative and press side proofing in an application giving professionals and their clients all the tools they need to create, view, annotate and collaborate on monitor proofs. Everyone can finally move to a true, fully digital workflow—and simplify client interaction—while increasing color accuracy and consistency. Whether viewing a proof on press, creating a concept or contract proof to send to a client for approval, or just accessing an incoming proof; Remote Director provides unparalleled functionality and performance that keeps production workflows at pace with the demands of a dynamic marketplace.
