The cloud-based system is a spot colour tool designed to extend control and repeatability. According to GMG, the product is the “industry’s first application to offer precise and predictable spot colour simulation by analysing ink behaviour in relation to the substrate’s colorimetric properties”.

OpenColor targets flexo, gravure and offset print technologies. Another cloud based product demonstrated at North Print and Pack was CoZone. GMG said that the product is modular in design and “builds into a central solution for all essential process steps – colour management, proofing, communication and approval processes between different supply chain partners and for different output formats”.

In addition GMG highlighted the latest version of its ColorServer 4.8 colour management software. The product is designed to give “consistent and repeatable colour results”.
