Adobe RGB Coverage
Expanded Color Space Meets
Professional Needs
Graphics professionals are well
aware that a totally digital workflow
and the ability to do soft proofing
results in higher efficiency and lower
costs. Many also want to switch to
space-saving LCD monitors, but are
hesitant to do so because of concerns
regarding the color accuracy required
for professional color work. EIZO’s so
-
lution is the ColorEdge CG220: an LCD monitor that covers the Adobe
RGB color space. It thus encompasses not only the sRGB color space,
widely supported by many computer monitors, operating systems and
digital cameras, but also the ISO-coated and US web-coated CMYK
color spaces used in printing. This ultra-high-performance monitor
finally provides all the color reproduction capabilities graphics profes-
sionals have been seeking, in the compact LCD format.
Advantages Of Adobe RGB
In order to realize the advantages of soft proofing, a color manage-
ment system for sharing accurate colors among photographers, graphic
artists and printers is a necessity. The most efficient way to achieve
this is for all parties to use a standardized color space with a wide
range of colors. The ColorEdge CG220 now makes it possible to adopt
the Adobe RGB extended color space, which has become the de facto
standard for professional color processing. It ensures guaranteed color
reproduction across all digital platforms, providing a color management
environment that fully supports soft proofing, from the photography
stage to final CMYK printing.
By covering the Adobe RGB color space, the ColorEdge CG220
is not subject to influence from the OS color engine or software, and
allows final color checks in Adobe RGB. This offers a great advantage
over sRGB monitors, whose smaller palette is not capable of accurately
reproducing colors in certain areas of the spectrum, notably emerald
greens and cyans. Retouching images with these monitors requires
numerous printouts to achieve accurate color matching. By enabling on-
screen retouching and color confirmation, the ColorEdge CG220 makes
your work faster, easier and more accurate.
