Pantone, Inc., the global authority on color and provider of professional color standards for the design industries, today introduced huey PRO, a new member to its huey family of display calibration products. hueyPRO is designed for photographers and creative professionals to improve color clarity and consistency across multiple CRT, laptop and LCD displays. The original huey made the once complicated task of monitor calibration simple and approachable. The new hueyPRO offers additional functionality for users who frequently print photos and other graphics, share them between monitors or upload them to Web sites.

About the size of a marker pen, hueyPRO retains the innovative form of the original huey, as well as its ability to continually adjust the monitor as room lighting changes. With the addition of new software, hueyPRO offers increased control over brightness and contrast through separate menu choices that allow users to select gamma and white point settings. An improved Help function offers hints and workflow suggestions for improving color output.

hueyPRO will be available in April 2007 at www.pantone.com and other major electronics, photo, and online retailers for a SRP of U.S. $129. Both devices work with LCD, CRT and laptop monitors and are compatible with Mac OSX 10.3.9 and higher, and Windows® 2000, Windows® XP and Windows Vista(TM). An upgrade for registered huey users will be available through Pantone.com.

For a limited time, hueyPRO will be bundled at no additional cost with the Pantone 100 TOP COLORS/solid coated book. Pantone 100 TOP Colors is a guide featuring the 100 most popular Pantone Colors used in the graphic design industry, along with printing ink formulas and RGB values.
