Datacolor Introduces Viewport™ Imaging Technology

Lawrenceville, N.J.-based Datacolor, a developer of digital color management technology, has
introduced Datacolor® Viewport™, an imaging technology for assessing the color quality of non-solid
fabrics.

Designed for use by product quality control operators and color analysts, the technology
offers an objective digital color process for materials that traditionally are evaluated visually.
Viewport features precisely calibrated imaging technology and enables remote visualization and
color evaluation for a range of products — including heathers, lace, denim, towels, fabric
prints/patterns and wall coverings — under multiple lights, thereby removing the need to send
physical samples and reducing the risk of human error in color assessment. It utilizes cloud-based
technology to enable instant and secure data sharing anywhere globally. Users are able to post
information and images on the Web as well as to approve or reject, archive and search samples.

“Eliminating the need to ship physical samples is a significant benefit to both the supplier
and buyer in the supply chain,” said Eric Alho, product marketing manager, Datacolor. “Datacolor
Viewport provides suppliers and their customers the ability to simultaneously view and analyze
color quality in multiple light references using color-calibrated image capture technology, which
simplifies the approval process and ensures that the color is accurate, consistent, and produced on
time.”
