The Most Complete Color Management System
Accurate color conversion from one color space into another and reliable simulation of print results are key for the graphic arts industry. For more than 35 years, GMG has set global standards enabling brands to manage their brand image worldwide and we tirelessly perfect our solutions in close collaboration with our customers to ensure our color management system and software solutions remain the standard.
GMG Color Management
OpenColor - color management for packaging printing
Packaging printing as an industry is not as standardized as many other printing sectors. This makes achieving consistent brand appearance a real challenge. GMG OpenColor is using a proprietary spectral calculation model and can precisely predict the interplay between varying processes, substrates, and overprinting.
Precise simulations with spectral data
Our patented conversion technology enables color-accurate simulation – even without test charts. In addition to spectral color data, printing process, substrates and even ink sequence are taken into account. If a parameter changes, a profile can be quickly calculated without the need to run a new proof.
More powerful than ever:
proofing for the packaging market
The new GMG Spectral MX Color Engine provides spectacular performance gains: the proof profile calculation is up to 15 times faster, the profile quality is improved, and the profile size is up to 90% smaller.
The higher-resolution MXN profiles lead to better color matching between proof and print, hence optimize print approvals in the packaging supply chain.
Hand in hand with leading providers
GMG OpenColor's profiling capabilities and precise color prediction are unparalleled. So to enable users of other workflow solutions to benefit from GMG's superior color management technology, GMG creates custom interface solutions. Current technology partnerships support ArtPro+ by Esko, Packz from HYBRID Software and Measure Color.
One foundation for proof and color separation
GMG OpenColor creates proof profiles as well as separation profiles. These profiles transfer effortlessly to GMG ColorServer and GMG ColorPlugin, allowing the use of the most sophisticated color transformation tools to work seamlessly with Adobe Photoshop. Extended gamut printing projects and the replacement of CMYK channels with specials in Photoshop are now quick and simple. GMG OpenColor delivers the flexibility you wish for and the reliability you need.
Continous or halftone proof?
In combination with GMG ColorProof, multicolor proof profiles are dynamically calculated using the colors assigned in the print file. Potential problems such as moirés and incorrect trapping settings can also be made visible in advance using halftone profiles.

GMG Color Proofing
ColorProof - efficient, accurate, and reliable proofing
Producing printed matters will inevitably present the need to predict and approve the desired print result before going to press. GMG ColorProof is the benchmark in digital proofing. Setting industry standards and a globally recognized solution guarantee a contract proof system that all parties can trust: from the pressroom to prepress, as well as agencies and marketing departments.
Consistent proof system results anytime, anywhere
GMG ColorProof is at the heart of a powerful system integrating digital color proofing devices and GMG ProofMedia that simulate the final print results of a printing press. GMG’s innovative calibration concept ensures stability and reliability across a range of proofing- and measuring-devices in multiple locations.
Plug & Proof
GMG ColorProof comes pre-loaded with color profiles for all standards, ensuring a ‘no hassle’ setup. Simply select your printer, calibrate and proof. Thanks to the pre-loaded color profiles, creating color-accurate reference proofs is effortless.
Consistent results across multiple locations
Thanks to GMG ColorProof GO and the remote proofing function, it’s simple to achieve the same print results wherever your printer is located – in the room next door or in another country. Controlled via a browser, all proofers on the systems are easily controlled and managed from anywhere in the world.
Reliable packaging printing
Due to the wide range of printing processes and substrates in packaging printing, individual adjustments are part of the daily routine. The combination of GMG OpenColor and GMG ColorProof makes the creation of customer-specific standards unbelievably easy.
Proofing systems for specific applications
With GMG DotProof, the screen angles, screen ruling and dot shape as well as color of a proof can be simulated accurately. Print issues such as register misalignments or the wide variety of printing substrates in flexo printing can also be simulated with GMG FlexoProof.
