Themed: "iccMAX—Taking Color Management to New Frontiers!", Conference to Present New Specification for Open, Vendor-Neutral, Cross-Platform Color Management Solutions

Reston, VA - NPES The Association for Suppliers of Printing, Publishing and Converting Technologies, has released the program for this year's International Color Consortium Developers Conference, ICC DevCon 2014, to be held November 3, 2014 at the Joseph B. Martin Conference Center at Harvard Medical School*, Boston, MA, in conjunction with the IS&T 22nd Color and Imaging Conference (CIC22) and the 2nd International Congress of the International Academy of Digital Pathology (IADP).

ICC DevCon 2014 will concentrate on presenting a new specification "iccMAX," the result of the ICCLabs' work to enable new ways of openly communicating about light, color and appearance to promote the use and adoption of open, vendor-neutral, cross-platform color management systems. During the program, attendees will gain a better understanding of both the background as well as the practical application of their iccMAX based solutions.

Topics to be presented will include:

• Pigment identification and implementations using subtractive mixing theories
• Multi-processing elements applied on integer and floating-point data
• Multispectral imaging in digital pathology including brightfield and fluorescence imaging
• Communication physical appearance characteristics for spot and named colors
• Representation and visualization of gloss and physical properties of surfaces
• Estimation of the real world effects of the illuminant and media interaction, and
• Characterization of fluorescence in complex color environments.

ICC DevCon 2014 allows attendees an opportunity to learn from the experts—experienced developers and users in the imaging, printing and publishing color community.

New member companies that join the ICC during DevCon 2014 will receive a reduction in their membership investment equal to their paid conference fee.
