Projects

As in real life, each packaging product can be stored and managed within a project folder. A project folder holds all the data you need for a product as a link (to keep all data editable).

Project settings.

After setting the printing process and media for your project, you need to add a characterization. If you tagged your characterization with a keyword, the characterization will show up on the Tools & Actions panel right first place (1), as soon as you enter that keyword in your project (2). Without keywords, all suggestions on this panel are sorted alphabetically.

The measurement data (characterization) is displayed in the Inks / Characterizations (3) section. Click the blue triangle icon to show all available in the project. You can change the ink sequence, if required, or the ink usage.

You can create profiles in a dynamic way (on-the-fly via GMG ColorProof), or you can create static profiles right within GMG OpenColor. All created profiles are stored in the Finalize section of a project (4). You can export and edit the profiles from here. To make the project data and profiles available to GMG ColorProof, they need to be published (5).

Add a bookmark (6), if you want to show your project among the Favorites on the Projects tab.
