Picto a provider of image processing, has installed three GMG Colorproof o4 proofing systems, with the quality control and traceability system Proofcontrol.

The systems have been installed at Picto's Paris (France) sites - Picto Front de Seine, Picto Bastille and Studio Daguerre.

Picto migrated to digital proofing in 1996 and to increase the flexibility of the company's existing system, O2i, GMG's reseller and pre-press and computer system integrator, recommended Colorproof o4 for standardised digital pre-press proofing.

Colorproof o4, the latest version of GMG's colour management software, was installed at three of the Picto sites to drive Epson Stylus Pro 4000, eight-colour printers.

Picto has a range of image processing specialists who endeavour to produce the highest quality results from files and originals submitted by its photography clients according to the final substrate.

The quality of image reproduction was paramount, said GMG.

"This innovation has come at just the right time to produce photographers' portfolios and photo books, which are usually produced as rush jobs.

We can now provide these services at a lower price, whilst ensuring certified professional quality," said Philippe Gassmann, Picto's marketing and communications director.

In addition to its GMG's Colorproof o4 systems, Picto has opted for GMG Proofcontrol o4 to provide colour-accurate proof control from spectral measurements.

"The Proofcontrol system is the ideal complement to the software and is the seal of quality for every proof pulled.

We are very happy with the flexibility offered by these new tools and the way they complement each other compared to the systems currently in place.

For photographers present during retouching in our production department, this increased flexibility allows faster approval," added Gassmann.
