Innovative Printing Solution
for High Quality Photos from Software 2000 & Ilford
OXFORD — March 12, 2003 — As a result of a joint development
initiative with Ilford, Software 2000 has produced a suite of printer
drivers aimed at digital photographers who are looking to use the
maximum quality available from the Ilford Galerie Professional range
of inkjet papers.
The combination of Software 2000's 14 years experience in developing
printer drivers and Ilford's 100 plus years experience in producing
photographic paper has resulted in a simple, low cost, high quality
product that produces photographic quality prints on Ilford Galerie
paper from a variety of popular photo-quality desktop printers.
"We are extremely excited to launch this product in conjunction
with Ilford as we have been able to pack a huge amount of our leading
color technology within a dedicated photo-print solution.",
said Brian Andrews, Software 2000 Product Manager. "The drivers
deliver maximum quality through an incredibly simple User Interface.
Photographers no longer need to manipulate difficult color controls
to realize the quality they expect from a professional photographic
paper, they simply need to select their Ilford paper and print."
The drivers were released at PMA on 2nd March and will be available
at no charge through a limited-time promotion that will feature a
free CD packaged with Ilford Galerie Professional Inkjet paper.
"End-users have asked for these drivers, and we listened
to their needs", said Brian Zimmer, Marketing Manager, Reseller
Channels and Consumer Markets of Ilford. "Now avid photographers
and imaging professionals have the perfect combination - award winning
GALERIE papers, and custom drivers to make print balancing and color
output successful on the first try."
