ICS Remote Director
Remote Director is a virtual contract proofing system designed to reduce creative review cycles from days to hours while ensuring color accuracy from design to print. It is SWOP certified; plugs into any workflow solution; and allows agencies, brands, publishers, prepress shops and printers to communicate, whatever their location.
Remote Director runs on commercially available hardware (PC and Mac), supports RGB, CMYK, CMYK+spot, and spot-only color workflows, and requires no specialized technical knowledge to use.
Comment
Remote Director's SWOP certification has been its greatest asset. It was the first virtual proofing system to gain certification and can produce proofs that are visually identical to the SWOP Certified Press Proof, defined in ANSI CGATS TR 001. As a result it quickly found good levels of acceptance among advertising agencies, newspapers and magazines in both North America (where it is distributed by Chromaticity) and Europe (various resellers).
