The CSS Colour & Print Manager is for the Perfect Colour. Getting the colours in your printed designs to match the colours of your yarn is always a problem. Two monitors or two printers are never the same. But CSS has the solution for this. Select the colours from the colour catalogue (generated by the program), printed on your own printer, and there will be no more surprises. Do you want to print your design on a large scale? No problem: Colour & Print Manager allows you to print the design divided over multiple pages.

Some Advantages of CSS Colour & Print Manager

The program works under Windows 2000/XP™ and consistently uses all the advantages of this operating system.

Any Windows compatible printer can be used, from an A4-size ink-jet printer to an A0-size plotter.

For any kind of printer, a colour catalogue can be generated. From this catalogue, the wool colours for printer and for screen can be selected.

All colours are saved in a colour database, with their name, monitor RGB code and printer RGB code. So once the printer colour that matches the yarn colour perfectly is found, it can be used for any other design.

The colours in the database can be divided in groups. Within the colour groups, colours can be sorted in several user-defined ways.

Different colour variations of the same design can be made by "drag & drop" of a colour from the database on a colour of the design.

The automatic allocation function automatically selects the wool colours that best match the screen colours of the current design.

Colour combinations created like this can be saved in the colourway database and be used for other designs.

Creating one colour way matching the colours on the loom is enough. While "browsing" through the colorway database, the current design is simultaneously shown in the selected colour combination.

The print preview of the program shows exactly how the picture and the text will be printed, giving you the chance to make changes still before printing.

A text editor allows adding additional information to the printed design. The text can be saved in the text database for use with other designs later on.

Colour swatches with name, RGB code and statistics can be added to the design: vital information for the production.

If the design contains the correct aspect ratio information, it will automatically be printed in the correct proportions. In any other case, the height and width of the print can be adjusted manually to get the correct proportions.

For hand-knotted carpets, a grid can be printed over the design. The size and thickness of the grid can be selected as required.

If the design has to be printed "real size" and the printer is too small, it can be printed over several pages.
