Developer and supplier of colour management software solutions, GMG, has announced plans to offer OpenColour colour separation technology within Hybrid software’s Packz label and packaging editor and workflow.
Integration with GMG OpenColour will allow Packz to use the most accurate colour profiles available and use the colour conversion within its PDF editor to assure the most accurate transformations. This is particularly useful if the number of ink units are changed, or if the printer wants the most consistent representation of their brand colours.
‘We are very happy to be integrating our colour management and profiling tools with Hybrid Software’s Packz. We believe we create better colour than anyone else. We like to offer our customers as many opportunities to seamlessly apply our colour management tools as they operate other pre media solutions,’ commented Paul Barnes, product management at GMG. ‘We have been working closely with Hybrid Software to combine colour profiling and conversion into one, interconnected packaging solution. We recently finalised the delivery mechanism between the two software systems, and will be starting field tests with select customers shortly. We expect that the official product release will occur no later than drupa. Ultimately, users will get much better results. It’s why people choose to implement better colour management from GMG.’
Christopher Graf, managing director at Hybrid Software, said, ‘We are very pleased to be working with GMG. Their colour management engine is noted as the best in the industry, and we want to ensure that anyone who uses Packz can benefit from the most accurate colour conversions. Colour is a critical demand of any label packaging print buyer, and Packz users will soon be able to assure this to their customers.’
