 Natural Color 
 
Natural Color 
 
One of the recent problems in using a computer is  that the color of the images printed out by a 
printer or other images scanned by a scanner or a digital camera are not the same as those 
shown on the monitor.  
The Natural Color S/W is the very  solution for this problem. It is a color administration system 
developed by Samsung Electronics in association with Korea Electronics & 
Telecommunications Resear ch Institute (ETRI). 
This system is available only fo r Samsung monitors and makes th e color of the images on the 
monitor the same as the printed or scanned images.
