GMG colour management with focus on LFP at FESPA 2011

For GMG, a leading developer and supplier of high-end colour management software solutions, the focus at this year’s FESPA Digital in Hamburg will be on the company’s colour management solutions for the large-format printing sector.

Consequently, GMG will be represented at the exhibition booths of Four Pees (Hall A4, Booth C66), HP (Hall A4, Booth C40/41), KIP Deutschland (Hall A3, Booth C60), and Neolt (Hall A3, Booth A50).

The GMG ColorServer and GMG SmartProfiler colour management solutions assist companies in the large-format printing sector in their efforts to meet the growing demands imposed on colour quality and consistency. One of the challenges in this context is to achieve identical colour results on multiple output devices or in mixed production environments, where offset and digital or large-format printing can be encountered together. In these cases, the printed end products are intended to look exactly the same, regardless of which printing process is used.

So that colours have an identical appearance in different printing processes, GMG ColorServer automatically converts the data to the corresponding output colour space. GMG SmartProfiler is used to create the necessary colour profiles and printer calibrations for different output systems. ISO Coated V2 usually serves as the reference standard.

At the HP booth, GMG will be presenting a GMG ColorServer Suite for HP Scitex printers that is tailored specifically to the needs of HP Scitex users. The software package includes the GMG ColorServer/ SmartProfiler colour management solutions, preconfigured hotfolders, and colour profiles for instant use. This permits maximum repeatability in production, and consistent colour results on any printing system and almost any substrate.

In addition, visitors to the exhibition will have the opportunity to gather information regarding further possible applications for GMG’s software-based colour management in combination with a wide variety of digital large-format system solutions. For example, the exhibitors Four Pees, KIP Deutschland, and Neolt will be presenting a wide range of integration options for GMG ColorServer and GMG SmartProfiler. The solutions offer convincing versatility, flexibility and, on the bottom line, outstanding colour quality.
