Resolved issues
This version provides higher stability and fixes several bugs. We recommend you to always install the latest GMG OpenColor version to benefit from all improvements.

Publishing issues for static profiles

After calculating and publishing a static profile in GMG OpenColor, the proof standard was unavailable for download in GMG ColorProof unless the same project was also published for dynamic profiling

Failed profile calculation for Epson SureColor SC-S80600

In some cases, the profile creation for Epson SureColor SC-S80600 printers failed, particularly for metallic or very dark output conditions with low L* values.

"Error calculating device link profile."

If you were affected by this issue, please recreate the relevant output conditions after installing this update to resolve the problem.

Dynamic GMG DotProof profiling issues

Only iterated GMG DotProof profiles with the ink order KCMY could be used for dynamic profiling, although the ink order should not affect the profiling. Also, non-iterated profiles were mistakenly available for dynamic GMG DotProof profiling, even though only iterated profiles should be allowed.

Missing settings for 'X-Rite i1' devices

For some devices of the 'X-Rite i1' series, the measurement functionality did not display options for selecting the measurement condition (M0/M1/M2) and measurement mode (Scan/Patch).

Failing ICC profile import

The Lab-to-Spectral calculation window did not open when trying to import an ICC profile.

"The selected file is not a valid measurement data file."

Have DotProof profiles calculated dynamically
In combination with GMG ColorProof 5.16 and later, MXD profiles for GMG DotProof can be enhanced with additional spot colors dynamically. All you need to do is to create and publish a DotProof project with an iterated CMYK profile in GMG OpenColor. The profile can then be synced into GMG ColorProof and used for DotProof jobs. Please note that you cannot use one and the same project for DotProof and Contone but must create and publish a separate project for each profile type instead.
Import spot colors from PDF files with embedded CxF
You can now also add spectral CxF spot color definitions from PDF files to your library to ensure accurate and consistent color representation. The existing import dialog for projects and characterizations has been expanded and can be used to import spot colors from PDF 2.0 and higher. See how it works under the following link: How to import a spot color library from PDF files with embedded CxF
Predict Dot-on-Dot results for ECG printers precisely
Overprinting extended gamut inks sharing the same screening angle makes accurate color predictions based on regular multicolor test charts a highly complex task. Challenge accepted! We've enhanced our Dot-on-Dot prediction engine to ensure higher color accuracy on ECG printing systems. The improved prediction engine uses the 'Automatic Screen Detection' functionality, which is enabled by default. If required, you can check the setting under "Options" button in Application Service Options > Preferences > Profile Settings > Use Automatic Screen Detection.
Unlock same-angle overprints for AM Screening
Allowing overprints for inks sharing the same angle is now also possible for amplitude modulated screening. The correct screening type for your process is communicated by GMG SmartProfiler and automatically set in GMG OpenColor. Learn more about the overprint behavior and how you can adjust it in the ink settings to your needs under the following link: Overprint
Create custom calibrations and profiles for 'Roland VersaOBJECT CO-i' printers
GMG OpenColor supports the new printer models 'Roland VersaOBJECT CO-300i' and 'Roland VersaOBJECT CO-640i'. In combination with the GMG CaliWizard in GMG ColorProof 5.16 and later, you can create custom calibration sets and corresponding output conditions for GMG OpenColor to print color accurate and reproducible prototype proofs for a wide range of substrates. Please find further information under the following link: Supported Proof Media and Print Modes for Roland printers
Calculate profiles for the new GMG ProofMedia studio matte 200

GMG OpenColor 3.2 supports our new GMG ProofMedia studio matte 200, designed for print simulation on OBA-free production substrates in the packaging sector, such as folding boxes and corrugated cardboard, as well as decoration or letterpress printing. Its high grammage provides excellent mechanical stability and a consistent print image, even with heavy ink application. With high brightness, it offers a larger color space in highlight areas than many other matte proof media, allowing to reproduce even the finest structures with high color intensity and consistency on its smooth surface. GMG ProofMedia studio matte 200 is available in 13", 17", 24", and 44" widths. Please follow the link to see which printers and print modes can be used with the new media: Supported Proof Printers, Proof Media, and Print Modes

Receive licenses for new systems at any time
Did you ever need to set up a new system urgently beyond the GMG business hours? For example a disaster recovery setup after hardware failure? With our new Application Service function 'Request temporary licenses' and a user account at our cloud management platform GMG Manage, you can now obtain a temporary license package at any time to safeguard business continuity even in time-critical cases. This package covers all essential GMG applications and is valid for four days. Within this period, you can contact your local dealer or our support team to replace the temporary licenses with permanent ones. Dive into the details of temporary licensing under Request temporary licenses

Language-dependent application crash

After selecting a measurement template, GMG OpenColor crashed on some operating systems, such as French, Italian, Spanish, Chinese, and Japanese systems.

MeasureColor Connector — Non-transmitted spot color modifications

After modifying spot colors in GMG OpenColor, the changes were not visible in the MeasureColor app. The modifications only appeared in the CxF exports via API after restarting GMG OpenColor.

Changed default settings for overprints
With this version, the default overprint behavior changes for all screen types. For both FM screening and AM screening, overprints will be enabled by default for all colors. If required, you can change the behavior in the ink settings (see "Overprint").
