Description

Eliminate manual colour adjustments and tricky workarounds with GMG ColorPlugin – Ensure fast and repeatable outcomes when replacing process colours, adding a channel, or several special colours to CMYK images. It uses GMG’s superior MX technology directly in Photoshop for colour-accurate conversions between a range of colour spaces, plus efficient ink reductions.

Traditionally, separations for a re-print were manual, with operator-dependent results. Thanks to the project-based workflow of GMG ColorPlugin, defined parameters are saved centrally, with data available across different locations for consistent colours.

In packaging printing, image data is often separated using spot colours. GMG ColorPlugin automates this process and extends the colour space to include special inks, for greater predictability. Convert any combination of process and spot colours – 1 to 7 input and 1 to 8 output colours.

With a colour-accurate preview of the result showing the printing process and substrate, GMG ColorPlugin allows quick and accurate approval, saving time and money on proofing steps.

GMG ColorPlugin Packaging Pro also provides the following advanced features:

• Exchange or remove individual channels for more stability in printing with ChannelExtender, ChannelChanger and ChannelRemover. Individual channels can be exchanged or removed entirely or selectively, with automatic compensation of remaining channels for colour consistency. Complete images, masked areas or layers can be used to convert all or parts of a job into the desired colour space or adjusted to the chosen print process.

• Problematic areas for flexo printing, like the first printing dot, can be identified with MinDot Preview and optimized for printing with MinDot Adjust, based on the tonal threshold values of the print process. This ensures that even images with fine detail are printed accurately and banding is minimised.
