GMG works with HP on colour management
GMG has signed an agreement with HP to jointly promote and market the GMG colour management solutions in combination with HP Scitex wide-format printers. The GMG solution is expected to be available in mid-March and will be shown in HP Scitex demo centers worldwide. In addition, GMG has been awarded the HP Graphics Solutions Partner Gold level for 2011.
GMG solutions include GMG ColorServer for fully automated color space transformations and GMG SmartProfiler for calibrating and profiling digital and wide-format printers.
Tailored to the specific needs of HP Scitex customers, GMG will offer a dedicated GMG ColorServer Suite for HP Scitex printers as a customized software bundle including GMG ColorServer/SmartProfiler and a set of preconfigured hot folders and ready-to-use color profiles. The GMG hot folder technology guarantees every user the best possible production reliability and color accuracy, helping avoid errors right from the start. Thus, no expert knowledge is needed for the setup of color-managed workflows. The GMG color management solution equally benefits companies that have several similar or identical printers installed, achieving identical quality of the printed output on every device.
"We are very pleased that HP considers our colour management technology as the solution of choice," said Paul Willems, CEO of GMG. "This clearly accentuates the outstanding print quality and degree of innovation GMG is offering the wide-format printing segments with its easy-to-use software tools."
According to Yariv Avisar, vice president and general manager, Scitex large-format printing division, HP: "Colour management is becoming an increasingly important part of the wide-format printing workflow as customers look to create a competitive advantage and meet end users' needs for consistent, high-quality output. After in-depth testing, HP concluded that the GMG ColorServer software is an ideal solution to meet these needs for our customers."
