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 Pro 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 
Research Institute (ETRI). 
This system is available only for Samsung monitors and makes the color of the images on the monitor 
the same as the printed or scanned images.  
For more information, refer to Help (F1) in the software program.
