Verification of multicolor control strips from FOGRA and Idealliance
GMG ColorProof and GMG OpenColor are the ideal solution for proofing jobs prepared for a multicolor print process—traditional spot color printing as well as a fixed ink setup or ECG. It has already been possible to print, measure, and validate GMG control strips with spot colors in earlier versions of GMG ColorProof. Now, this version fully supports multicolor control strips defined by official print standards, i.e. Fogra MediaWedge Multicolor 5C, 6C, 7C, 8C and the newly added IDEAlliance ECG Digital Control Strip 2019. With an Epson proofer and an integrated ILS30 measuring device, the strips are now automatically measured and a verification label is printed on the proof.

The proof verification for spot colors from GMG OpenColor now works exactly the same way as for CMYK. You can either use the target values from the GMG OpenColor proof profile or define a custom target in form of a GMG ProofControl Print Standard XML in the proof standard.

Using this feature requires a GMG ProofControl Inline license, a printer with an integrated ILS30 measuring device, and GMG OpenColor with Proofing option. The feature is limited to GMG OpenColor profiles and proof standards. The GMG OpenColor proof profile needs to include CMYK. The report functionality is not yet available for multicolor control strips.

Please follow the links for more information:

This feature requires GMG OpenColor 2.4.2 or higher. Please follow the link for more information on this version: https://gmgcolor.com/support/help/opencolor/opencolor-whats-new/2-4.htm

Custom tolerances for proof verification using dynamic GMG OpenColor profiling
For static profiling with GMG OpenColor, it was already possible to either calculate the CMYK target values from the proof profile or to use the target values from a GMG ProofControl Print Standard XML. This feature is now supported for dynamic GMG OpenColor profiling as well. Proof verification works in the same way for static and dynamic profiling. Now you can define your own custom tolerances in the GMG ProofControl Print Standard.

You want to use stricter tolerances? You can create a custom print standard from an MXN profile in GMG ColorProof and then edit the tolerances in GMG ProofControl.

You want to use custom target values? You can create a custom print standard either from an official print standard or from an MXN profile and then edit the target values (and tolerances) in GMG ProofControl.

Support of new FOGRA56/57 laminated standards
Recently, FOGRA has published new characterization data for Sheet fed offset + Matte OPP (FOGRA56) and Sheet fed offset + Glossy OPP (FOGRA57). The new version of GMG ColorProof already provides new proof standards for GMG ProofMedia premium OBA semiMatte 250 and GMG ProofMedia studio OBA semiMatte 200 on Epson SureColor Epson SC-Px000 printers (with violet ink setup) for 10c - Photo Black - 720 x 1440 dpi print mode.

Beta version of new remote proofing solution FLOW
Exciting new possibilities are coming to the way proof jobs can be distributed across ColorProof systems. No more hassle of different versions, no complicated configurations and best of all: Full transparency 24/7 on what’s happening and what happened, even after months!

Create FLOWS between multiple ColorProof systems and track all remote jobs via the browser, using intuitive date, state, or full text filtering that enable you to quickly identify issues:

All flows are listed with key information and even include first accounting possibilities, such as: How many jobs have been sent per flow? How much proof media did that cost?

Curious? FLOW comes as a new extension of GMG ColorProof GO. If you have a GMG software update contract, you can test and use the beta version for free. Under the following link you find detailed guidance on FLOW and how you can use it: Remote Proofing with GMG ColorProof GO

You will, however, need to get in touch with us to activate your systems for the cloud or to set up a test system. You can test our new remote proofing just for yourself or actively participate in the beta phase. Whatever fits you best, drop us a line under ux@gmgcolor.com or contact our Support Team to reach us. In return, we’ll closely accompany you in the testing, share insights, and build a great proofing experience!
