Esko-Graphics BV. and GMG GmbH & Co. KG have partnered to deliver a new connection between GMG’s profiling and color prediction solution, GMG OpenColor, and Esko’s native prepress editing software, ArtPro+. The connector will be launched in November 2022.
The collaboration brings two market leaders together to satisfy the demand for highly automated and globally connected color management solutions.
Talking about the partnership, Geert de Proost, Director of Product Management at Esko said, “Color management is a complex process and hugely important because there is no single quality standard that you can work with. Therefore, it has been hugely satisfying to have collaborated on this project with GMG and bring our respective customers a solid data connection between our two leading solutions.”
“The manual reseparation of images and artwork to match brands’ color accuracy demands can be a laborious and error-prone process. But by automating the reseparation using GMG OpenColor technology, via the unique integration with Esko ArtPro+, prepress professionals can now accurately visualize color in before-and-after states and assess color deviations on-screen with precise Delta E readouts” he adds.
As ArtPro+ can modify colors, it is now simple and quick to add file edits after conversion for Multi Color Process Printing and can enhance color precision on press through standardizing color conversion using GMGs enhanced spectral color technology.
Rainer Schmitt, Head of Product Development at GMG, commented: “Esko and GMG have a shared goal of delivering fully integrated digital workflow and color management solutions. A better integration of GMG technology inside Esko solutions is one of the most often reported requests from our joint customers.
“Focusing on a friction-less user experience by connecting Esko ArtPro+ and GMG OpenColor, our partnership is starting with a great deal of value for our customers,” he said. “GMG and Esko will continue to search for areas of collaboration to further simplify our customers’ workflows.”
