Automatic color conversions for more efficient workflows
Using data flexibly and for multiple purposes is essential for survival in today’s highly competitive market. Increasing digitization of prepress operations has driven the need for automatic data conversions from an existing color space to a different, target color space. The printing process, the inks used, the reproducible color space, the individual dot gain, and the paper all play a decisive role in these color transformations. Consequently, manual conversions of data to a different color space involve a major effort. Moreover, a great deal of technical knowledge is also required. Up to now, data reuse frequently required re-creation completely from scratch, particularly in catalog and ad production.
With GMG ColorServer the processes of color conversion, scaling, sharpening, separation, and optimization of pixel and PDF data can be executed fully automatically via hotfolders.
