Color management expert GMG is making its proof
control software for digital printing future-proof with version 2.4. Product
manager Jens Bloeck explains: "We are meeting industry demands with the
support of the digital standard Fogra PSD (process standard for digital
production): process stability and quality assurance are playing an
increasingly important role in digital printing."
GMG ProofControl can be used to import and verify
control strips for print standards. If the proof corresponds to the target
values, then a label is printed out as a seal of approval and is attached to
the proof. This is how proofs can be objectively measured and serve as a
legally binding basis for an order.
Creating templates for custom print standards
GMG ProofControl can be customized even further in
version 2.4. Independently created color rule sets can thus be saved as
templates and applied to any output standards. This makes packaging printing
easier, where individual adjustments are part of everyday business. Templates
for ISO12647-7:2016 and FOGRA PSD 2016 are already pre-defined.
Useful features thanks to Microsoft Excel and XML
Support
Analyses and statistics can now be collected from
measurement data, for example about printing stability, by using the new Microsoft
Excel Support. In addition, you can create your own print standards in this
way. The print standard list can be saved and imported into other work stations
via XML in order to ensure consistency.
New evaluation criteria and 64-bit support
Control strips and individual patches can now be
evaluated with 95% quantiles and the weighted Delta Ch formula. That means that
this complies with Fogra PSD and G7 Greyscale. GMG ProofControl 2.4 is now
designed as a 64-bit application and offers noticeably better performance,
especially when it comes to large quantities of measurement data.
