GMG OpenColor extends connectivity

With GMG's color management, print data is automatically converted and optimally prepared for various printing technologies. Thanks to the extended interface, GMG OpenColor libraries are now available to many other providers, including the company Colorware with MeasureColor.

According to GMG, the values that MeasureColor uses as a target for print production now precisely match the proofing color definitions of GMG OpenColor. That ensures the proof is matched with ease and, as a result, customer's expectations are met instantly. Therefore, make-ready and approval are much faster.

‘Thanks to the new collaboration, it is finally possible to close the gap between pre-press and printing press,’ commented Ruud Wentrup, managing director of MeasureColor developer, Colorware. ‘We are happy about the new possibilities of data exchange. That way, we can avoid many mistakes, produce less waste and obtain more precise colors. Trial-and-error is finally history, and the printing process is accelerated sustainably.’

‘The main requirements of our customers are automation and, of course, complete control over print quality,’ added Peter Schöffler, product manager at GMG. ‘Both expectations are met with the new addition. As the library for spectral color information, GMG OpenColor is the central hub of automated color management in pre-press. In connection with MeasureColor, results match across the board for increased productivity and extended print capacity thanks to shorter make-ready times.’
