Remote Proofing
One of our key concepts is to enable our customers to always achieve exactly the same print results, whether a printer is located next room or in another country. With the enhanced remote proofing functionality in GMG ColorProof, you have every opportunity to move work between different locations.
GMG ColorProof enables you to access, store, and share your work from any location. You can configure an automated up/download of proof jobs and color management data such as profiles, spot color sets, calibration sets, media, control strips using an FTP server or network location. With the optional password and write protection, you can securely share files with multiple clients or associates. Furthermore, you can share profiles or spot color sets on a network drive, centralizing the management of custom application data.
The following table shows the different possibilities for sharing files and printing proof jobs in between different locations.
| Options | Short description | See also |
|---|---|---|
| Manual remote proofing |
Proof jobs and color management files can each be exported manually by selecting the file and using the Save As or Sent To command from the context menu. For the import, you can use the File menu or the Import buttons on the respective System tabs. |

| Automated remote proofing via FTP |
You can set up an automated job export by using the option Export Job for Remote Proofing in a workflow (Workflow properties > Printer). To automatically import proof jobs from an FTP server and load balance them, you can configure an automatic transfer to a hotfolder which can directly send the jobs to the job list in GMG ColorProof. All remote sites can be configured and managed centrally (System view > Remote Proofing > Manage Remote Proofing Sites). |

| Sharing data on a central server | If you are using custom profiles and application data and want to share them through a central server, you can easily synchronize your database by a one-time export and import of files. | Sharing Data Through a Central Server |
