PrintFIX PRO - API?

PrintFIX PRO - API?

2006-03-04 by Tom

Is there a programming API for the 1005 spectro and / or the Spyder 2?  
I'd also be interested in making (yes making) a driver for Linux.

I'm not sure what details would need to be hammered out before that 
could be a possibility.

Thanks in advance

Tom

There are SDKs for both devices. They are provided to companies under NDA for specific uses. We would need to talk about your particular use. The tendency on Linux is for everything to be pretty communal, open source, etc... which is a model that does not necessarily fit well with commercial development.

Posting this to a user list shows a "Linux state of mind" already... if you wish to address this further, please contact me privately.

I like Windows and Linux at the same time ... which my friends assure
me should cause me to self destruct at any moment.

Linux is an operating system which, at the moment, badly needs good
color management software and hardware support.  ColorVision at one
time did start to support Linux with its products but sadly before the
operating system was ready.  There are no other viable means of asking
this question posted on your web site.  That is why the question was
posted here in an open forum.

PS: I use Nikon and deeply respect Canon at the same time which should
also cause me to implode without warning :-)

ColorVision development issues, are not, contrary to Linux traditions, discussed publicly. So I will not address them here.

Contact requests (as at most companies) are handled by sending them to the public customerservice email address.
