The ProfileMaker 5 Platinum is designed to meet the growing demands of print professionals producing CMYK-based multicolor output, including large format advertising, fine art reproduction, textile digital printing, packaging or small to medium multicolor print runs. It also is designed for the professional studio photographer, ensuring accurate and consistent color for all the devices used in a typical studio photography workflow.

Managing color in a multicolor workflow involves more than simply profiling an output device. To be effective and efficient, it must also address the separation process as well as soft proofing and hard proofing requirements. ProfileMaker 5 Platinum is the only solution that addresses these two issues, enabling you to achieve exceptional quality results in a fraction of the time. The PM5 Platinum provides advanced gamut-extending profiling technology and workflow tools for CMYK+N ICC printing. You can edit and softproof mages in Photoshop, create a multicolor separation with a single click and output images using the PM5 Multicolor Plug-in for Adobe® Photoshop&ref;. The result ... you'll save substantial time and materials by reducing your current 3 to 5 cycles of image editing, creating separations and printing down to a single iteration.
