The latest release of GMG's proofing software, ColorProof 5.6, aims to help users who print with optically brightened media to achieve colour consistency.
It also has added features to connect and work even better with prepress workflows, and operate more efficiently with RIPs and printers. For example, print facilities with existing systems in place can now use a new hotfolder interface system (API) to easily plug ColorProof 5.6 into their workflows."
Most significant for proofing accuracy is the new solution for optically brightened media. Until recently, measuring devices and the light in viewing booths had not been subject to any standards regarding how they measured or illuminated print media that contains optical brightening agents (OBAs) to increase the 'whiteness'.
With the recent revisions of those ISO norms and eventually the updated ISO 12647-2:2013, several changes have been made to address the colour matching problems caused by OBA enhanced media. Reflecting these changes, ColorProof 5.6 provides new proof standards, full support of the new M0/M1/M2 measuring conditions, and the new enhanced proof paper GMG ProofPaper semimatte 250 OBA to achieve highest quality and a good proof-to-print match.
