Ciba extends colour management offering

9 February 2006

Ciba Specialty Chemicals has extended its colour management services offer to include colour visualization of 3D objects. The company says that it has struck a cooperation agreement with ColorViz for exclusive distribution rights worldwide of Mosaic and Indigo software for a range of colour management services from creation to realization.
The company says that this progressive colour visualization software can be linked with Ciba® COLIBRITM colour formulation software, allowing users to view their materials immediately on the required objects, thereby reducing prototype design time from weeks to hours. It adds that the connection to formulation is a breakthrough in the virtual prototyping tools for industrial designers, where colour is a key competitive factor; the technical specification of colour is now made easy through the use of this innovative solution.

The company says that ColorViz Mosaic and Indigo visual appearance simulation software systems radically reduce the time-consuming and costly production of samples.
