The first child of the Pantone/X-rite union, ColorMunki Design is an attempt to put technical colour-management tools in the hands of designers at an entry-level price.

The tool, which was launched in the lead-up to Drupa 2008, comes with spectrophotometer and software that can calibrate monitors, printers and projectors. It can synchronise with Adobe Photoshop, InDesign or QuarkXPress and switch between CMYK, sRGB and LAB. Its PrintSafe function notifies the user whether colours can be accurately reproduced to specific standards. It may lack the specs of a full-blown spectrophotometer and colour calibration software, but it costs considerably less.
