GMG Introduces OpenColor Software Solution

GMG OpenColor is available in both a Basic or Plus version. The Plus version offers additional features for even greater quality to meet process control demands. These include:

• Use of the Create Profile Wizard for full control of the profiling process
• The ability to manually edit profiles; for example, substrate overprint behavior or dot gain corrections.
• Enhanced print charts for even more precise overprint simulations. Spot colors can be characterized with charts that contain overprints.
• Export of static MXN profiles for offline use or to prevent profiles from dynamically—or unintentionally—changing.

“With GMG OpenColor, once prediction of overprint behavior of inks is available, prepress companies and converters can eliminate colors within a job, reducing press stations without compromising critical brand colors. While done today, this process can be very expensive and is often created by trial and error,” explains Asseiceiro. “Accurate proofs help to prepare data, flexo plates and gravure printing cylinders correctly. The risk of having to stop the production because of wrong plates is significantly lower. The best part is that OpenColor offers simple proofing with easy profile creation—anyone can do it.”
