ColorPlus is an entry level screen color correcting product for digital camera enthusiasts which offers sophisticated, easy to use color tools for professional looking images, on screen. The award winning ColorVision Spyder™ technology, introduced over four years ago for digital photofinishers and professional photographers has yielded this new entry.

ColorPlus is a Windows®-compatible hardware color sensor that corrects CRT, LCD and notebook monitors for accurate, reliable and consistent color. Users save time, ink and paper by printing their photos right the first time with less trial and error. With ColorPlus, consumers can now use the same tools as the pros to make their images studio quality.

The device is driven by an intuitive software and graphical user interface that offers ease of use for consumers in a few simple steps to balance screen colors.
