GMG, a developer and supplier of color management software solutions, has announced a brand new version of the renowned proofing solution GMG ColorProof. A lot of research and testing went into this version to help customers who print with optically brightened media to achieve color consistency. Until recently, measuring devices and the lighting in viewing booths have had no standards concerning how they measured or illumined print media, which contain optical brightening agents (OBAs) to increase the "whiteness". With the new ISO norm 12647-2:2013 several changes have been made to address the color matching problems caused by OBA enhanced media. Welcoming and reflecting these changes, this new version provides new proof standards, full support of the new measuring conditions M0/M1/M2, and a new OBA enhanced proof paper to achieve highest quality and a good proof-to-print match.
Other features include: Smart Hotfolder and Job Ticket Hotfolder; Centralized Color Management; Individual working space; Parallel RIPping; and Automatic re-assigning of jobs for continuous productivity. Print facilities with existing systems in place can use a new interface to easily plug GMG ColorProof 5.6 into their workflow.
