New features in GMG's OpenColor 1.1 extend its functionality and include extended import of measurement data and further adjustment capabilities to the OpenColor profiles.
Until now, to accurately communicate a mix of colours, every combination would require a specific test chart showing the different combinations - a costly process that involves colour fingerprint charts, the making of plates, and lengthy testing. GMG says its new software release resolves this complex packaging problem and "provides highly accurate colour profiles, with less information".
By using OpenColor, users avoid printing combinations of overprints, the company states. They only have to print single colour patches - colour control strips - and combine the colour and substrate properties within the software.
