GMG donates color proofing system to Ryerson University, Toronto

The School of Graphic Communications Management at Ryerson University has received a donation from GMG for research in proofing and color management.

GMG has donated software that includes its flagship product, GMG ColorProof, which has produced consistent results at the IPA Color Proofing RoundUPs, events overseen by Dr Abhay Sharma of Ryerson University. The donation also includes GMG DotProof to generate contract quality halftone proofs and GMG FlexoProof, tailored to the specific needs of the packaging industry. The contribution enables Ryerson University to train and educate students and researchers, and to initiate industrial investigations and evaluations for the printing industry. Of particular significance is the ability to use GMG ColorProof to create GRACoL and SWOP proofing scenarios.

The Heidelberg School of Graphic Communications Management is housed in a new 30,000 sq ft press and prepress facility in downtown Toronto. The School offers the only 4-year graphic arts degree program in Canada. The reputation of the school ensures 100 percent internship placement and 100 percent employment of students on graduation.

GMG Americas president Jim Summers said: ‘We are pleased to support Ryerson University's color management research programs through the donation of software from GMG's product portfolio. Ryerson is the preeminent Canadian graphic arts education institution, and we welcome the opportunity to expand the research, teaching and knowledge platforms they offer.’
