GMG Installs Colorserver and Colorproof at RIT
NORWELL, Mass.—GMG Americas announced that it has installed GMG ColorServer and GMG ColorProof at Rochester institute of Technology (RIT) for research of color-managed solutions. The system will be used to measure and determine how color management systems react to different graphic elements.
The Color Management Systems Lab of the School of Print Media at RIT primarily supports teaching and research activities in color measurement, color quality assurance, and color management systems for digital imaging, print production, and process control. For example, recent reports published by the CMS lab include “The effect of dot gain linearization as a printer calibration criteria on color matching accuracy” and “Device link profiling.”
Robert Chung, gravure research professor, is responsible for activities of the CMS lab. Professor Chung has been a faculty member at Rochester Institute of Technology since 1980, teaching process control, color management, and quality assurance.
Studies will help demonstrate how color management brings components of sheetfed, flexo, and web-press printing together for predictable color. The most important factors under observation are performance and ease-of-use of various systems. Many of the studies will have relevance to Professor Chung’s specific field of interest, developing gravure standards.
