Colour experts at GMG have launched two powerful updates that will redefine colour proofing. The newly released GMG OpenColor 3.0 and GMG ColorProof 5.14 are designed for packaging and graphic arts markets. First and foremost, the new GMG Spectral MX Color Engine provides spectacular performance gains: the proof profile calculation is up to 15 times faster, the profile quality is improved, and the profile size is up to 90 percent smaller.
The higher-resolution MXN profiles lead to better colour matching between proof and print, hence optimise print approvals in the packaging supply chain. In an industry where speed, volume, and efficiency are paramount, the advantages are obvious. A new feature is the LAB-to-spectral conversion technology in GMG OpenColor. This allows LAB-based MX4 and ICC characterisation data and profiles to be imported and enables users to switch their entire proof production – including existing, older data – to the far more precise spectral calculation model, resulting in a more accurate prediction of overprinting spot and process colours.
