Moreover, many of GretagMacbeth’s color management solutions have become the de-facto industry standard and maintain an impressive installed base worldwide. In addition, GMB has been one of the significant leaders in setting the pace for new standards for color management technology, and we firmly believe that they will continue to stay at the forefront of providing innovative, state of the art and high quality solutions for the printing industry. We especially look forward to the new, trendsetting ProfileMaker 5 Packaging solution.” “This partnership incorporates a tremendous business opportunity as the pressroom market is at the edge of implementing color management into their production workflow, as stated in a recent GATF study. The same GATF study reports that more than 69% of the respondents are using GretagMacbeth ProfileMaker software and 95% of the respondents are using GretagMacbeth measurement devices. Building upon this strong base, the partnership with Progressive Color Media will allow us to continue to expand into the pressroom color management arena,” says Mark Geeves, VP Global Business Development Team at GretagMacbeth.
