Proofcontrol 04 is a package of complementary hardware and software to provide a quality control system.
It documents and proofs in compliance with SWOP and Gracol standards or any other industry or custom standard.
It also provides control over the entire proofing process, immediately detecting the slightest variation in colour.
Because it documents every proof, GMG believes it provides the printer with a secure customer record of approved proofs.
Flexoproof 04 for flexo and packaging has an out-of-register and a printing substrate (for instance, cardboard) simulation.
The product also includes Dotproof, GMG's system that allows users to generate contract-quality halftone proofs.
The Inkoptimizer, which has been successfully field-tested at several large printers, is said to automatically reduce the amount of chromatic colours to provide ink savings of up to 25 per cent on the press, while maintaining quality, and improving printing conditions.
Camflow is an automated workflow application that handles RGB data from various systems in different colour spaces and automatically neutralises, optimises, sharpens and separates it into the desired target colour space.
Jim Summers, GMG's USA general manager said: "Over the past year, GMG has invested in significant product development efforts.
This is the first time in North America that the company has presented such a broad range of products.
Graph Expo heralds a new phase in the company's steady and continued expansion in the States.
Our aim is to provide highly competitive proofing products that deliver unrivalled quality and rapid return on investment to our customers.".
