www.agfapress.com            Amsterdam, the Netherlands, Ifra 06 — Stand 2/2210 — 9 October 2006 —
                             Agfa Graphics launched Mac version 4.0 of its :Arkitex IntelliTune image
                             processing software for newspapers as well as IntelliTuneX, a brand new
                             version for newspapers using PC platforms. :Arkitex IntelliTune is in use with
                             more than 300 newspaper installations worldwide. Users testify that it reduces
                             image processing time while improving quality; and speeds time to press by
                             eliminating time-consuming image correction.

                             The new Mac version now uses Agfa’s new Smart Input Space Recognition
                             technology (SISR) as well as Multi-Dimensional Processing (MDP) technology
                             to automatically analyse the tone, colour and spatial characteristics in every
                             image. Then it calculates and applies the necessary corrections for perfect
                             reproduction. A PDF processing option enables script-based processing of
                             RGB, CMYK and Greyscale PDF files. Embedded ICC profiles can be used,
                             ignored or overwritten. :Arkitex IntelliTune offers a choice between fully
                             automatic, semi-automatic or manual operation.

                             For PC Platforms.
                             :Arkitex IntelliTuneX, which is the PC-based version, makes its debut at Ifra.
                             This is a server-client based solution. Its J2EE application server core and full
                             java-browser user interface offer accessibility, scalability, as well as Agfa’s SISR
                             and MDP technology for intelligent Image manipulation. Full scalability and
                             expandability with division of work into cleanly separated subsets lets clients
                             look into each division to see how progress is being made via the browser-
                             based user-friendly interface.

                             :Arkitex IntelliTune 4.0 is available immediately and IntelliTuneX will be available
                             by the end of the year.
