GMG OFFERS PROFESSIONAL SHAREWARE RAPIDCHECK GO!
Wednesday 16. December 2009 - Advertising agencies, production managers and print buyers are only a free download away from a quick and effective quality check of print products.
GMG, supplier of high-end color management and proofing solutions, is pleased to announce that the free shareware GMG RapidCheck GO! is now available for download on the company’s website www.gmgcolor.com. The tool allows advertising agencies, production managers and print buyers to check the quality of print products and their compliance with required print standards at a click of the mouse.
The need for standardized printing is growing as greater importance is given to compliance with international or in-house defined print standards. Advertising agencies and production managers involved in the production of print products as well as print buyers want tools that enable them to verify quickly whether delivered prints comply with a predefined quality standard.
With GMG RapidCheck GO! users have to perform only a single measuring procedure in order to obtain all the important information regarding the print job in question. The available data is presented in a clearly structured and easily comprehensive ISO/PSO and GRACoL-compliant report. A “green check” is displayed when the print product passes the quality control.
To check the print quality, users need to apply one of the following measuring instruments: X-Rite Eye One, X-Rite SpectroEye, X-Rite 500 Series, Techkon Spectrodens and Techkon RS800.
According to Jan-Peter Homann, consultant for international clients in the field of color management and standardized print production: “the GMG RapidCheck GO! shareware for the evaluation of a print product’s compliance with common industry standards offers a range of functionalities only available within commercial solutions, until now. This very easy-to-use tool provides the basis for better and easier communication between print suppliers and clients.”
Currently, the shareware version is available in German and English.
