GMG highlights color accuracy at UK show

GMG gave a UK premier to its OpenColor packaging proofing and CoZone cloud-based management systems at last week’s North Print & Pack 2013.

 

GMG OpenColor is a tool for spot colors that analyzes ink behaviour in relation to the colorimetric properties of the substrate. OpenColor can simulate spot colors precisely to give brand owners the consistency they demand from print suppliers around the world who have to cope with a wide variation of production conditions. 

 

The outcome is an ink profile that is calibrated to match the interplay between spot colors and process inks, irrespective of ink, press or substrate variation.

 

GMG CoZone combines the cloud and project with high-quality color management tools. The modular system combines all the major process stages: color management, proofing, communication and approval, and adds transparency to the partners in the supply chain, even those using different output formats.

 

By exactly matching proofs to finished products, GMG claims the process of lean manufacturing is extended to include creative designers, marketers, and production technicians.

 

Victor Asseiceiro (pictured, top), packaging specialist at GMG, said: ‘With print runs becoming shorter, the need for precision control increases if expensive waste is to be avoided, and press downtime kept to a minimum.’
