Color Management Seminar at Canon EOS Pro Centre, Berjaya Times Square KL

If you're a Canon DSLR users in KL, Canon EOS Pro Centre (owned by Pro Digital Imaging Centre) at 9th floor, Berjaya Times Square might be one of your favorite place to hang around.

Canon EOS Pro Centre is not just another ordinary camera retail outlet, apart from Canon EOS DSLR series, the Canon EOS Pro Centre also displays and demonstrates professional photo printers such as Canon iPF5100 (17"/ A2 size) large format inkjet printer and Canon Pixma Pro9000 series A3 size inkjet printers.

On 26th July 2009, the Canon EOS Pro Centre together with Bits & Bytes Marketing Sdn Bhd had organized a color management seminar to 40 paxs of invited participants. Most of the them are Canon EOS 1D or 5D users.

Cheryl from Bits & Bytes Marketing was presenting on the theory of color management. Basically a basic color management involved in photography is monitor calibration as well as printer and paper profiling (monitor to print match). A proper color management will ensure the color of the print outs are consistent and matching the color output from the computer screen (WYSIWYG).

The Colormunki spectrophotometer from X-rite was introduced in the seminar as one of the preferred color creation tool to the audiences.

The color specialist from Bits & Bytes Marketing Sdn Bhd was performing the process of color calibration. Picture shown was the process of color capturing from color chart via Colormunki spectrophotometer.

To show the differences between printing via paper profile and without paper profile, 2 portraits were printed with Canon iPF5100 on semi-glossy photo paper and both of the photos were compared with the monitor screen. Yes, the differences were spotted immediately by the audiences.

James Khor, the Managing Director of Plot-tech Services (M) Sdn Bhd has shared his professional knowledge in large format printing at the show to visitors especially to universities and colleges which are keen to setup large format printing facilities at the their labs.

By displaying the large format printer alone will not impressed the visitors. One way to attract attention will be print demonstrations and fill up the surrounding with breathtaking photos, especially those sexy models portraits.

The horizontal EOS 5D Mark II banners were also one of the artwork printed by the Canon iPF9100 12-color large format inkjet printer on frontlit banner.

There is a corner that showcase the photos at the DCIM Show 2009. The A3 size photos were just unable to attract the crowds as people tends to focus to some big objects especially at event like DCIM Show 2009. Don't you think that A2 or A1 size photo printouts will give you more kicks?

If you missed out this event and would like to witness the printing of Canon iPF9100, the 60 inches wide format printing, make sure you make yourself available to visit the IPMEX Malaysia 2009 at PWTC on 10th to 13th August, 2009.
