In order to accurately predict a print result it is paramount to use a reliable proofing solution. GMG ColorProof is at the heart of a powerful system integrating digital proofing devices and GMG ProofMedia that simulate the final print results of a printing press. GMG’s innovative calibration concept ensures stability and reliability across a range of proofing- and measuring-devices in multiple locations. Know More...

In packaging printing, different printing technologies, various media types and printing conditions often lead to deviations from industry standards. This poses a challenge for the entire production process to efficiently achieve a consistent brand image. GMG OpenColor uses a spectral conversion technology at its core, which precisely predicts the overprinting of process and spot colors. The patented technology allows you to avoid lengthy correction loops on press before printing and makes creating custom profiles positively simple. Know More...

When brands demand accurate color reproduction of their brand colors they use ink drawdowns during the approval process. Until now, these ink drawdowns, or color cards, were manually created – needless to say, that this was an extremely time-consuming process. GMG ColorCard is the digital innovation that automates the manual, labor-intense process using spectral data from the ink lab. It consistently produces precise color swatches for any spot color.

With GMG ProofControl digital proofs can be verified ensuring they comply with industry standards such as FOGRA standard. With this verification a digital proof is upgraded to a contract proof. Because the manual measurement of a color control strip is time intensive GMG’s automated solution is clearly a benefit. GMG ProofControl is not only accurate but also unbeatably efficient.

In packaging, print data processing in Adobe Photoshop often requires the replacement of a process color or even a channel extension of a CMYK image with one or more spot colors. Achieving the customer’s exact color specification using manual conversion can be very time-consuming even for the most experienced operators. GMG ColorPlugin achieves the required result with a few simple clicks: from accurate color conversion into the required color space, efficient under color removal (UCR/GCR) to the most flexible image separation. Know More...

Helps save up to 20% of ink by increasing the amount of black in the separation and by reducing CMY. This form of under color removal stabilizes the grey balance and optimizes the entire printing process. The result is a more stable print run and better quality at a significantly reduced cost.

Reliable proof substrates are crucial for the production of contract proofs. The smallest production inconsistencies, differing surface structures or unstable drying behaviours of proof media can lead to visual differences in color appearance. Aside from proofing device, software and color profiles, the proof media plays a key role in achieving consistent proof results. This creates a demand for high-performance substrates that are available worldwide produced to unmatched quality standards. Know More...

Todays’ complex packaging workflows require specialized tools to ensure accurate, repeatable color, from job to job across the plant or around the globe. As the range of inks, printing technologies and substrates has expanded, so has the complexity of maintaining color and print quality across various shifts and sites. Printers and packaging converters must ensure color is right the first time, right every time, in order to gain and retain customers in an increasingly competitive environment.
