Phase One, the leader in open-platform based medium format camera systems and solutions, today announced immediate availability of the Phase One P 40+—the company’s second Sensor+ enabled digital camera back/camera system.

Like the P 65+ introduced last year, this new system offers two separate image-capture modes. In normal mode, the P 40+ delivers full 40 megapixel captures for high-quality image details. And when shooting conditions demand, a photographer can push a button and instantly switch from 40 megapixels to 10 megapixels, gaining a four- fold increase in light sensitivity (ISO to 3200), and a capture rate of up to 1.8 frames per second—an ideal performance for hand-held and/or low-light conditions.

EC Display Solutions is expanding its NEC SpectraView® series with a hardware calibratable widescreen 24” model on the one hand, the NEC SpectraView® 2490, and with the two wide-gamut 2690 and 3090 reference LCD displays on the other hand: new benchmark standards in colour management. The IPS panel for the 2490 satisfies the requirements of top quality professional image processing, as do the H-IPS (horizontal in-plane switching) panels of the 2690 and 3090 models, since IPS panel technology is the best for colour-critical applications. The high 1920 x 1200 and 2560 x 1600 resolutions at 60 Hz (Reference 3090), an AdobeRGB colour-space coverage of up to 107 percent, and very wide and stable viewing angles of 178 degrees allow razor sharp pictures and brilliant colours without any chromatic distortions (colour shifting) whatsoever. In addition, top quality picture reproduction is also supported by the programmable 12-bit LUT (look-up table) for each RGB signal (so enabling 36-bit colour control), gamma correction, and also the X-Light® Pro feature. Whether deployed for media reproduction, digital image processing or in print-workflow, NEC Display Solutions has succeeded in combining into these models outstanding technical performance with excellent economy.

Within the next three years, 20 percent of all printed images will be in the form of photobooks or other formats(1). Consumers have a strong desire to tell their stories, share their memories and have them printed, which has resulted in significant growth opportunities in revenue and volume for photo professionals. While only two or three copies of a traditional wedding album were usually produced, digital technology now enables different versions to be printed and personalised for each guest.

Therefore, transitioning to digital printing will enable fine art and professional photographers in portrait, nature and school segments as well as print service providers (PSP), to expand their businesses and create new services using HP Indigo presses.
