Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq:ADBE), the leader in Network Publishing, today unveiled a roster of industry leaders offering tools and services on the new Adobe(R) Studio(TM) Web site.

"With the HP remote proofing solution and the HP Designjet 10ps, 20ps and 50ps printers, users can generate remote proofing files that include not only content data, but also specific color profiles and print settings, and they can then print them with the assurance of consistent color at any location. Adobe Studio is the perfect complement for the HP remote proofing solution."
