  laser copiers (referred to as connected or multifunction copiers), support
  multiple uses including image scanning, image manipulation, printing and
  photocopying. Splash's products feature advanced color correction, color
  calibration and separations support, ease of use, time-saving workflow
  functionality, simulation of many color monitors and printing presses and
