Tuebingen – GMG, developer and supplier of high-end color management and proofing solutions, is pleased to announce that the company has been awarded the HP Graphics Solutions Partner Gold level. The enhanced partnership with HP is a testimony of the outstanding proofing and color management solutions of GMG for the digital and wide-format printing segments.

With GMG ColorServer and GMG SmartProfiler GMG offers end-to-end color management for the HP Scitex large-format printers and HP Indigo digital presses to improve color accuracy and consistency in daily production dramatically. Now, it is possible for GMG and HP customers to achieve in an automated process a visual match with offset printing, as an ISO Coated V2 appearance can be produced with their digital or large-format devices.

The wizard driven GMG SmartProfiler and a corresponding measuring device enable users to quickly create individual profiles for the great variety of different substrates used for wide-format applications. Also the regular calibration of a wide range of large-format printers can be done easily with the help of GMG SmartProfiler.

Based on GMG's DeviceLink technology, the GMG ColorServer automatically converts any kind of colors, including spot colors, to the color spaces of the various output devices.

"We are excited about the expansion of our long-lasting relationship with HP in the field of high-end proofing with printers of the HP Z-series, which was the first result of our close technological cooperation", says Paul Willems, CEO of GMG GmbH & Co. KG. "The GMG ColorServer/SmartProfiler color management solution creates additional value to our customers, putting service providers in a position to offer print products with an identical color appearance, regardless of which printing process, press and substrate used. The HP Gold partner status clearly demonstrates the high quality standards the GMG brand stands for and will certainly help to enhance the visibility of our joint solutions and their benefits for printing companies", adds Willems.
