With GMG ColorServer 5.0.5 and the GMG SmartProfiler option, you can now automatically convert all incoming documents to a custom color space such as defined by an in-house standard. You might have an own in-house standard, for example, due to limited capabilities of the printer or because media properties are not compliant, especially in digital printing or hybrid production environments.

Instead of selecting one of the preinstalled print standard, you can now load a custom file: ICC, CGATS, GMG gamut (csc), or GMG MX4 profile (mx4x). For example, you can use the fingerprint of a specific printer-media combination as the reference for all other printers.

GMG ColorServer then normalizes all incoming documents into the selected CMYK color space first and then into the output color space of the actually used printer.

The data processing is automatically distributed, so the clients work without dependency on the physical location of the data which is centrally stored and shared. As a result, the system delivers the highest possible degree of concurrency, data integrity and performance.

GMG ColorServer’s 5.0 dynamic hotfolder concept simplifies work noticeably: Multiple hotfolders reference to centrally managed resources, which can be color and processing presets, but also profiles and spot color databases. Changing the resource, e.g. switching to another printing standard, all referenced hotfolders adapt accordingly.

Load balancing is dividing the amount of work that a computer has to do between two or more computers so that incoming files are efficiently distributed to be processed more quickly.

To improve the usability, all functionalities have been streamlined and reduced in complexity. The previous concept has been reworked to make it easier to work with larger environments, allowing more flexibility in handling and re-using data, while at the same time providing more safety in terms of data control and transparency.

GMG ColorServer 5 is designed to enable direct access to proprietary production workflow systems such as Dalim and Enfocus Switch. GMG color management technology can thus easily be integrated into any automated environment.

XML/JDF support has been integrated directly into the core of GMG ColorServer. Job tickets with equivalent parameters can be automatically processed via Job Ticket Hotfolders. Thanks to the flexibility, you can adjust how the XML/JDF files needs to be interpreted by GMG ColorServer.

The migration tool is an easy to use wizard based application which can migrate the following resources automatically:

• hotfolder configurations
• profiles
• spot color databases
• normalization
• spot color rules
