GMG’s Color-Management Software

GMG (Tuebingen, Germany) has announced its ColorServer Wide Format centralized, color-management software that allows you to achieve uniform print results across various manufacturers’ lines and models of printers. In addition to delivering consistent color files to multiple printers, CoverServer also includes GMG’s SmartProfiler device for printer profile creation, and the Barbieri Spectro LFP RT spectrophotometer.
The software automates color space conversions and normalizes various standards, incoming RGB or CMYK files into a single uniform working color space. It supports various industry- and inhouse standard file formats, to create consistent images, especially in diverse or hybrid — offset and digital — environments.
ColorServer Wide Format also adapts contrasting inks (UV, solvent, aqueous, etc.) to diverse substrates on dissimilar machines, with different RIPs. ColorServer, GMG said, transfers (and normalizes) an incoming file to a single, consistent, controlled, working-color space which makes it available for repurposing across different color standards. Such files can be forwarded to any calibrated printer, with color management turned off in the RIP, to avoid any color conflicts.
The ColorServer Wide Format package includes the GMG SmartProfiler, a new, user-friendly wizard that allows you to easily (step-by-step guidance is included) calibrate and profile different output devices. With it, you can create a profile, calibrate a printer, and update calibrations and linearize printers as necessary.
