SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 3, 1998--Definitive Stock announced its official launch as a
new full-service stock photography agency providing access to its extensive, creatively fresh image
archive via www.definitivestock.com and print catalogs/CD-ROMs.
This company works closely with creative professionals to understand their concerns and meet their
exacting standards by delivering the images they need, in the format they prefer, with the technical
reliability they require. The library consists of more than 75,000 high-quality, unlimited-use
(royalty-free) and limited-use (rights-protected) stock images.
Customers can search (by image number, category, or keyword), purchase, and download tens of
thousands of unlimited-use images via www.definitivestock.com -- an intuitive, fast, online image
resource available 24 hours a day. Use the "Similars" feature to locate images with similar
characteristics and download comp images free of charge. The company's preliminary Web site has
undergone vigorous testing since June 1998 to ensure accurate and streamlined image returns, along
with hassle-free purchasing and downloading functionality.
Purchase image(s) with a credit card, then download the high-resolution, print-ready scanned image.
Or customers can receive their image selection on CD-ROM instead of (or in addition to)
downloading using the Definitive Archive image delivery service.
The Web site also features a resource area for customers to take advantage of industry services
without leaving www.definitivestock.com. Services include graphic software purchasing and
downloading, industry-specific books from Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN), and printing
estimates for any kind of print job.
The Definitive limited-use collection includes more than 50,000 images. Users can purchase varying
levels of image exclusivity, as well as finding out the usage history for any limited-use image.
Definitive Stock delivers their purchases as color transparencies, low-resolution comping formats,
or high-resolution production scans over the Web or on CD-ROM.
To supplement its Web offerings, Definitive Stock also has available high-caliber catalogs and
comping CD-ROMs. Definitive Unlimited Book 1, a 200+ page, four-color print catalog and
companion comping CD-ROM, highlights more than 1,000 images from the unlimited-use
collection.
Definitive Stock was founded to address the design community's evolving image needs within an
increasingly complex and time-constrained environment. The company offers both unlimited-use
and rights-protected stock photography, and hosts one of the largest collections of downloadable
images on the Internet. Definitive Stock uses technology and a variety of services dedicated to
helping designers benefit from digital image technology. The privately held company is located in
Seattle. For product and service information, visit www.definitivestock.com, call 800/234-2627 or
206/340-0069, or email info@definitivestock.com.
