FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Creo Announces One-Stop Shop For Proofing Solutions: CreoScitex
Vancouver, BC, Canada (May 30, 2000) Creo Products Inc. (NASDAQ - CREO, TSE -
CRE) ("Creo") is pleased to announce that CreoScitex showcases a range of
professional desktop, continuous-tone and halftone contract, and imposition
proofing innovations at Drupa 2000, the world's largest trade show for the
printing industry, underway in Dusseldorf, Germany, May 18-31. With tuned and
matched inks and media, a strong focus on color management, and a commitment to
seeing customers through each proofing step, CreoScitex delivers the most
comprehensive array of proofing solutions in the industry. Proofing highlights
at Drupa, include the following:
New! Iris iPROOF Professional Desktop Proofing
A new advanced system configuration for the iPROOF includes calibration, with
support for the X-Rite DTP-41 spectrophotometer and Profile Wizard Suite. Two
new proofing stocks Commercial and Publication better simulate the IrisPRO
Media line used with the IrisPRINT series of digital contract proofers. Iris
iPROOF offers selectable resolutions up to 1,200 x 600 dpi, IrisSCREEN
technology for increased predictability, twice the speed of leading competitors,
simultaneous image processing and printing, and connectivity to CreoScitex
professional workflows.
IrisPRINT Series Contone Contract Proofing
Iris2PRINT and Iris4PRINT provide high-quality digital contone proofing with
user-selectable 300 or 600 dpi resolution, innovative IrisPEN technology for
easy maintenance, and a choice of 2-up or 4-up formats. Iris ColorZone software
ensures remarkable proof-to-proof, machine-to-machine, and site-to-site
repeatability, while Profile Wizard allows for the creation of ICC profiles for
the best correlation of proof to press sheet.

New: Halftone Contract Proofing with Lotem Proof and Trendsetter Spectrum
Drupa 2000 marks the European debut of the Lotem 800V Proof and the Trendsetter
Spectrum 3230+ and 3244+ dual-purpose digital halftone proofing and plating
systems. These systems use the same input, resolution, screen parameters, and
spot function to image both plates and proofs. (see press release on output
systems). CreoScitex and proofing media partners - DuPont, Imation, Kodak
Polychrome Graphics, and Fuji - are committed to bringing the benefits of
halftone proofing to Europe and the world.
New! IrisWIDE Series Imposition Proofing
The Iris62WIDE Imposition Proofer and ICC Color Management now support both
Iris43WIDE and Iris62WIDE. Iris62WIDE is a single-sided imposition proofer that
produces a 32-up proof in 28 minutes. Like the Iris43WIDE, the generous format
allows signatures (8-up for Iris43WIDE and 16- and 32-up for Iris62WIDE) to be
printed without any image rotation, reducing processing time and helping to
ensure image data integrity. Productivity is dramatically improved by printing
multiple jobs unattended using Iris roll-fed media. Iris43WIDE provides double-
sided imposition proofing with accurate font-to-back registration to within .040
inch and an easy-to-use registration system, producing an 8-up proof in only 13
minutes at 360 dpi.
New! Profile Wizard Suite enhancements
The increased variety of proofing and print-production tools available today
reinforces the need for a more regimented approach to color management. At
Drupa, CreoScitex is introducing the latest version of Profile Wizard Suite - a
color management software tool that builds ICC input, monitor, output, and
Device Link profiles. As part of the complete CreoScitex commitment to color
management, Profile Wizard Suite has been enhanced to support the building and
editing of ICC input and output profiles for scanners and digital cameras.
