Boston, MA – At PRINTING United Expo 2025, GMG Color Americas will demonstrate how it is helping printers and converters tackle today’s pressures head-on.

The event takes place October 22–24 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida, with GMG at Booth 4476. The centerpiece of GMG’s showcase will be GMG InstantMatch, a soon-to-launch innovation that caused a stir at Labelexpo Europe 2025 in Barcelona.

Designed for today’s packaging digital presses, InstantMatch eliminates the costly trial-and-error cycle of color adjustments by providing a press-side solution that detects and corrects color shifts in real time.

For printers under pressure, InstantMatch delivers faster turnarounds without lengthy reprofiling or idle presses, reduced waste with less ink, substrate, and operator time lost to chasing color, and consistent results with brand colors matched quickly and reliably, across jobs and devices.

The new technology also instills operator confidence, simplifying a traditionally complex process to empower operators of all skills levels, and enables better production planning due to fewer unforeseen stops and extended production times.

“The challenges our customers face today are not theoretical—they’re daily realities,” said Birgit Plautz, GMG Color Head of Global Support & Services. “Margins are tighter, schedules are shorter, and brands expect perfect results every time. InstantMatch was developed to meet those pressures with a solution that is practical, fast, and powerful.”

PRINTING United attendees will also see GMG ColorPlugin, GMG’s Adobe® Illustrator® and Photoshop® extension that ensures color accuracy from design to print. The plugin allows designers, prepress teams, and converters to view, verify, and optimize colors directly within Adobe Creative Cloud applications, bridging the gap between creative intent and production reality.

Through live demos, visitors will see how GMG ColorPlugin helps users preview spot and brand colors accurately on screen before going to press, simulate real printing conditions within Adobe Illustrator, including substrate, press, and ink limits, to reduce proofing loops, and automatically convert or separate colors using GMG’s spectral color engine, the same trusted technology behind GMG ColorProof and GMG ColorServer. By catching potential color issues early in the process, the plugin helps eliminate costly surprises before production begins.

By integrating creative and production workflows, GMG ColorPlugin empowers brand designers and converters to collaborate more effectively, saving time, cutting proof costs, and increasing first-time-right accuracy.

Together with GMG InstantMatch and ColorPlugin, GMG will showcase its proven technologies that continue to shape print production worldwide. Its connected ecosystem enables printers to standardize color across digital, offset, and flexo, reduce waste through accurate proofing and profiling, and enhance sustainability by minimizing reprints and material usage. PRINTING United attendees are encouraged to visit Booth #4476 for live demonstrations, hands-on discussions, and to see how GMG is driving color without compromise in an industry where every minute — and every impression — matters.

Attendees wishing to speak to the experienced GMG Color team at PRINTING United are encouraged to book a meeting ahead of the event.
