GMG partners with Roland DG
Colour management solutions provider, GMG, and Roland DG, provider of large format inkjet printers and printer/cutters for professional large format graphics, have announced a global partnership, enabling special high quality packaging applications such as the production of colour-accurate mockups on original substrates as well as proofing applications.
The strategic partnership comprises the development of a printer driver by GMG for the Roland VersaUV LEC-330 printer, which is supported by the GMG ColorProof proofing solution.
GMG ColorProof and GMG FlexoProof/DotProof will be available shortly for the Roland VersaUV LEC-330 printer for high quality contone and halftone proofing applications.
The GMG printer driver brings superior colour accuracy and repeatability on a wide range of substrates to the packaging market. Therefore, GMG customers can easily integrate the LEC-330 in their existing proofing workflows with GMG ColorProof. In the same way, Roland customers can maximize the performance of their large format printer.
The upshot of the combination of the LEC-330 with GMG’s proofing technology is cost-effective packaging proofing at a finished-product standard.
GMG ColorServer, the colour management solution for colour conversions, and SmartProfiler for the creation of colour profiles as well as large format printer calibrations, is available for all Roland large format printers. This common solution allows users to achieve highest colour accuracy, repeatability and colour consistency for packaging mockups on original substrates. It is also possible to print spot varnish, white ink, cut, crease and more on the actual output stock.
The solution is currently being demonstrated at Ipex on both the GMG stand (Hall 9-E322) and the Roland stand (Hall 12-C140). The software solution will be available through the usual selected GMG and selected Roland channels worldwide.
