MonacoEZcolor is the perfect tool to teach the concepts of color-managed workflows with ICC profiles, preparing these students for careers in color-intensive industries." said George Adam, CEO of Monaco Systems. "This is truly a method by which what you see on screen becomes what you get off your printer," explained Bill DuBois, RIT photographic arts chair.

Users can fine-tune their printer profiles as well as their device-link profiles, using the application's powerful and intuitive profile editing tools.
