Service Graphics has moved to streamline and simplify production with the installation of GMG ColorServer across its Chessington production site.
The software has been installed regardless of the device being used at the site, which caters for large format and grand format print products.
‘Prior to installing GMG, we had a number of issues in matching colour output across our printing machines,’ said Alan Clark, studio manager. ‘In order to best service our customers, we have built up perhaps the largest range of wide-format print equipment within the UK display and exhibition industry. With so many devices, processes and substrates, it was always a challenge to produce identical results across devices.’
The company is no stranger to GMG software having already used ColorProof, ColorServer and SmartProfiler in recent years, to offer as an advanced service to customers. It was this use of the software that lead the company to implement ColorServer throughout the entire site.
‘We fully implemented ColorServer as a solution to two issues. One was to reduce the amount of manual colour correction we needed to do for profile-to-profile conversions and to bring customer files to within machine performance criteria. The other was to align output capabilities across all of our printing machines. Since deploying it all of our devices are now in precise colour alignment with each other and across any substrate. Furthermore we have been able to free up available resources in our studio due to the reduction in manual colour correction work. The savings in production time, manual processes and reduced material wastage have been enormous.’
