GMGColor - Workflow with GMG
GMGColor - Solutions - GMGColor Management Workflow

Usually, many businesses and divisions are involved in a color management workflow. However, multiple interfaces always generate problems. In order to ensure that the required quality is ultimately produced, it is a must to set up the entire color management workflow in the most efficient way. The key to this end is to work with standards and to constantly verify compliance with these standards.

Color Management Workflow with GMG

  • Data can be generated internally [1] or delivered from external suppliers [2].

 
It is unavoidable that different data formats and also color spaces will occur.

  • Great importance is attached to the GMG ColorServer [3] within the color management workflow, because its task is to convert the data to a uniform color space through separation, reseparation and color transformation.


Only this procedure ensures that all images will show a uniform color appearance when printed.

  • The next step involves the proofing of the data according to the required print standard with the GMG proofing system [4].
  • It is essential to verify the proof with GMG ProofControl [5] in order to guarantee that the proof really does comply with the predetermined parameters, such as ISO 12647-7 or a user-defined in-house standard.
  • GMG InkOptimizer [6] helps to optimize the separations, resulting in faster make-ready. The reduction of ink use leads to a more stable printing process for sheet-fed offset printers and additionally to substantial cost savings for web offset and gravure printers.


The printer now gets the data together with a proof, knowing that his press can achieve the predefined proofing parameters. This is only the case if he makes sure that the press complies with ISO standards or the user-defined in-house standard. To cope with this task, he needs GMG RapidCheck and GMG PrintControl Pro.

  • With GMG RapidCheck [7], he verifies whether all printing parameters comply with the defined standard.
  • In the event of deviations, the printer can make the necessary corrections of the parameters with GMG PrintControl Pro [7].
