Jensen also recommends seeking out the color expert within a color management software company. "They are often willing to share more information than the salespeople are. I'm always looking for a technical person's name and phone number."

Extreme Color uses Imation (now Kodak Polychrome Graphics), X-Rite Spectrofiler and BestColor software, as well as an X-Rite spectrophotometer.
