GMG launches ColorProof for HP Indigo proofing

GMG has released ColorProof to support the HP DesignJet Z9+ for HP Indigo digital printing proofing application.  

Until now, producing press proofs on the Indigo is a common and high-cost process. A proofer, in conjunction with GMG ColorProof, shows exactly what will happen on press.

‘The proofing solution from GMG is by far the better solution compared to the proof-on-press strategy,’ emphasized Birgit Plautz, manager of technical services at GMG Americas.  

’Together with our partners from HP, we have asked various users in the US for their assessment,’ Plautz added, ‘and everyone agrees that the excellent HP Indigo should do exactly what it was made for: production printing.’ 

George Hlad of Resource Label confirmed: ‘We know precisely how the end result will look without needing to operate the full press.’ 

The GMG ColorProof is also claimed to be a cost-effective solution. The cost difference between proofing on the HP Indigo and on the HP DesignJet with GMG ColorProof can extend into hundreds of Euros - and most companies proof dozens of jobs per month, according to GMG.  

GMG has developed a cost calculator illustrating the potential cost savings. The calculator also allows customers to input their own values to reflect their particular machine and production costs, which can vary from one company to another.  

‘GMG is renowned for its high-quality proofing solutions,’ said Gershon Alon, head of software solutions at HP Indigo. ‘Our customers are already enjoying savings in production time and materials with GMG off-press proofing, and now they can use the HP DesignJet Z9+ for proofing. HP Indigo continues to work with GMG to maximize production efficiency and reduce TCO of our joint customers.’ 

GMG ColorProof for the HP DesignJet Z9+ is now available.
