Digital Cameras--Nature's Palette, Printer's Plate

Let me begin by stating, for the record, Minolta believes digital images are not much value without a strong color management capability. Digital cameras, especially the camera-back products, are producing excellent images. The problem is that in most commercial environments, people either fail to, or lack the experience to, synchronize all equipment involved in the digital imaging process.
