Hi hagar_uk,

No, while it is true that we are using some modules from EFI/Bestcolor, our MetaDimension option ColorProof Pro is an independent application. The cornerstone of a good color true proof is color management, and this is our own genuine Heidelberg technology, with the legacy and experience I outlined in my earlier post.
Given the diversity of printers to support we have come to the decision that rather than reinventing the wheel we should cooperate with somebody who had done this work already. Thus, we are licensing the printer drivers and related functions from EFI. We have a friendly OEM relationship with them on this. In the market though both companies are independently finding their clientele.

The beauty of ColorProof Pro is the tight integration with our workflow. Thank you for your positive comment on this. Now, off on vacation.

Regards,

PS Clod, how about we rename the sw Pro Colorproof or ColorPro Proof or ProofPro Color?
