GMG CEO Robert Weihing, says GMG has invested in significant product developments to ensure they continue to provide highly competitive proofing products that deliver unrivalled quality and rapid return on investment to their customers.
“We are very much looking forward to demonstrating this quality, together with the flexibility and efficiency of our products on an international scale at Ipex 06,” says Weihing.
GMG will highlight GMG ColorServer, a new tool for automatic colour conversions and demonstrate the expanded flexibility and functionality of the latest versions of its proofing and colour management products.
This new software solution provides automatic colour space conversions (CMYK to CMYK, RGB to CMYK and RGB to RGB) scaling, sharpening, separation and optimisation of pixel and PDF image data.
The software allows, for example, the conversion of one CMYK colour space to another, while keeping the integrity of the black channel. Offset data, for instance, can be automatically converted to gravure data. In addition to unsurpassed quality,
the major advantages of GMG ColorServer lie in dramatic acceleration and complete automation of work processes by very accurate, high-speed colour transformations resulting in significant cost savings.
Visitors will also see GMG ColorProof, the most accurate way of calibrating digital inkjet proofing engines to produce contract colour proofs; GMG DotProof, which enables the output of digital halftone contract proofs; and GMG FlexoProof, designed specifically for the needs of the flexo market.
GMG ColorProof supports all standard spot colour systems with up to 64 individual colour channels, and is compatible with standard ICC profiles, which can be combined with GMG profiles.
Specifically tailored to the needs of the packaging industry GMG FlexoProof supports specific flexo file formats and includes a complete Pantone spot colour library, along with other functions, including an out of register and a printing substrate (cardboard etc) simulation. The product also includes DotProof, GMG’s popular system which allows users to generate contract-quality halftone proofs.
GMG will also show GMG ProofControl for digital proof quality monitoring and GMG InkOptimizer providing impressive ink savings.
Also available are the various types of GMG media, including a range of proofing specific papers and films for the most popular inkjet printers. They are manufactured to high tolerances for colour critical applications and are available in a range of sizes.
GMG software supports a wide range of output engines including ink-jet printers from Epson, Hewlett-Packard and Canon and has recently added compatibility for large format printers such as the Mutoh RJ8000 VLF printer and laser printers.
Alongside GMG’s own stand, GMG solutions will be demonstrated on a variety of printers by Turning Point Technologies (Hall 6, Stand B56), Litho Supplies (Hall 6, Stand 575) and Epson (Hall 9, Stand B45), which will be producing large format proofs on the latest Epson x800 series inkjet printers.
