Available GMG OpenColor Licenses

GMG OpenColor Profiler Base

The base license allows the use of GMG OpenColor, including the support of widely-used measuring devices, industry-standard characterizations, and spot color libraries from Pantone and HKS.

GMG OpenColor is available with four different preset options with printing process related preset data for simulating flexo, offset, gravure, and digital environments.

To fully operate, the base license requires the following additional licensed options:

• At least one profiling preset (Flexo / Offset / Gravure / Digital)
• Separation and/or Proofing option

Proof profiles

• Proofing option: Required for the creation and export of static proof profiles, and for dynamic proof profile generation for use in GMG ColorProof. Without the additional DotProof license, only ContoneProof profiles are supported.
• DotProof option: Required for the creation and export of DotProof profiles for use in GMG ColorProof. This license also requires the Proofing option.
• Using the created proof profiles in GMG ColorProof also requires a GMG OpenColor Output license on the machine GMG ColorProof is running.

Separation profiles

• Separation option: Required for the creation and export of separation profiles and spot color separations.
• GMG OpenColor ColorBook option: Required for the generation of a ColorBook PDF from Separation Rules in GMG OpenColor or in GMG ColorServer.

Advanced features

• CxF Export option: Allows the export of spectral spot color values into a commonly used CxF 3.0 file format. In GMG OpenColor included PANTONE colors are protected and must not be exported.

Licenses for connectivity to third-party applications

• MeasureColor Connector (server-based): Enables MeasureColor software to connect to GMG OpenColor and retrieve color standards for use in setting up quality control jobs.
