FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
July 22, 1999

       ACCENT COLOR SCIENCES RECEIVES  SUBSTANTIAL ORDERS
         FROM GROUPE SET INTERNATIONAL, A XEROX COMPANY

EAST HARTFORD, Connecticut, July 22,1999 - 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,  Groupe  SET
International, a Xerox company.

      Groupe SET, acquired earlier this year by Xerox Corporation
(NYSE:  XRX),  provides  high-speed, digital,  black  and  white,
continuous-feed  printers  for  the  European  marketplace.  This
commitment,  in  conjunction with one already received  from  IBM
Corporation  (NYSE:  IBM),  provides  Accent  Color  with  orders
totaling in excess of $10 million.

      Charles E. Buchheit, president and chief executive officer,
said:   "We are pleased with this demonstration of commitment  to
continuing  our  successful relationship with Groupe  SET.  As  a
Xerox  company, Groupe SET is now well positioned to  expand  its
presence  in  the  European printer market and  Accent  Color  is
excited  about continuing the partnership. Although Accent  Color
still  has  a requirement for additional capital, I believe  that
these  commitments  for next year will help  us  to  achieve  the
necessary financing."

     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.
