GMG TO PRESENT SOLUTIONS FOR LARGE-FORMAT PRINTING AT FESPA 2010
Tuesday 01. June 2010 - GMG, developer and supplier of high-end color management and proofing solutions, will be presenting software solutions for large-format printing at the exhibition booths of its technology partners HP (Hall B2, 120), Mimaki (Hall B2, 270) and Roland (Hall B2, 340) during FESPA 2010.
The latest software solutions from GMG enable businesses involved in large-format printing to simply and efficiently meet the growing quality demands of their customers. GMG will present the extensive functions of the new GMG SmartProfiler software application, which printers can use to create their own color profiles and printer calibrations for large-format printing systems. This significantly improves not only a company’s production reliability and productivity, but also the color quality of the products.
GMG SmartProfiler is an additional option for GMG ColorServer, the central color management solution. Thanks to perfect execution of all necessary color conversions, GMG ColorServer ensures maximum color accuracy, repeatability, and consistent color results on any printing system. The result is colors that match those of print media produced by conventional methods, such as offset printing, as well as an identical color impression on multiple large-format printers of the same or a similar type.
At the HP booth, visitors to the exhibition will be able to see the GMG ColorServer/SmartProfiler color management solutions in action for creating profiles and calibrating HP Scitex large-format printers, for example.
At the Mimaki booth, GMG will be showing how color-accurate packaging proofs and packaging mockups can be produced in top quality. The combination of GMG ColorServer/GMG SmartProfiler color management software and the UJF-706 UV inkjet printers from Mimaki permits digital proofing on original substrates, as well as the production of absolutely color-accurate packaging mockups. White and varnish are supported in this context. The GMG/Mimaki solution is suitable for virtually any substrate.
The GMG solution for the UJF-3042 A3 flatbed printer from Mimaki with UV-curing inks will also be on display for the first time.
GMG ColorServer and SmartProfiler are likewise available for all large-format printers from Roland. In particular, the joint solution in conjunction with the Roland VersaUV LEC-330 printer will be presented at the Roland exhibition booth during this year’s FESPA. Users can expect maximum color accuracy, reproducibility, and color consistency in such special packaging applications as the production of color-accurate mock-ups from original substrates, as well as proofing applications for the packaging market. Among other things, the output material can be printed with spot varnishing and white ink, as well as cut and scored.
“Following our resoundingly successful presentation at IPEX, we will now also be demonstrating at FESPA that the wide range of GMG solutions can readily be integrated in numerous applications,” says Paul Willems, Managing Director of GMG GmbH & Co. KG. “Particularly in large-format printing, color management with GMG ColorServer and SmartProfiler is a highly convincing solution, thanks to its versatility, flexibility and, on the bottom line, outstanding quality.”
