EAST   HARTFORD,  Connecticut,  July  15,  1999  -  Accent  Color
Sciences, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board:  ACLR), a leading provider of
high-speed highlight color printing systems, today announced that
it has received a commitment for orders in excess of $5.0 million
for  calendar  year  2000 from one of its  major  customers,  IBM
Corporation.   The orders are subject to certain  conditions  and
cancellation rights.

      Charles E. Buchheit, president and chief executive officer,
said:   "Our printers installed in high volume statement printing
applications  show  that  industry  leaders  are  interested   in
adopting  our  technology.  I need to caution, however,  that  we
still have a requirement for additional capital."

     Accent Color Sciences, Inc. designs, manufacturers and sells
innovative, high-speed highlight color digital printing systems -
TruecolorT  Systems - for the production printing and  production
publishing   segments  of  the  printing  industry.    TruecolorT
Systems,  when  integrated with high-speed,  digital,  black  and
white  printers,  create  a  system  that  prints  or  highlights
critical   information  in  multiple  colors   for   large-volume
applications.   Such  applications  include  billing  statements,
account statements, invoices, legal notices, brochures, financial
reports and short-run, on-demand publications.

"Safe  Harbor" Statement Under the Private Securities  Litigation
Reform  Act  of  1995:   The statements contained  in  this  news
release   that   are   forward-looking  are  based   on   current

business  plan; (iii) the rights of customers of the  Company  to
modify  or  cancel  orders  under the terms  of  related  product
purchase  agreements, as amended, to which reference is made  for
more detailed information; (iv) the dependence of the Company  on
third-party  suppliers for certain key technology  elements,  and
(v) the potential fluctuations in the Company's quarterly results
of  operations.  Further information on factors that could  cause
actual  results to differ from those anticipated is  detailed  in
