Mark Andy to offer GMG tools globally

While the entire GMG portfolio is available – and GMG solutions and media are already available through the Mark Andy Print Products Division – the immediate Digital Press Division focus will be to specifically offer GMG Colorserver and Smartprofiler to the installed base of Mark Andy Digital Pro and Digital One digital presses. GMG Colorproof and GMG Proofmedia will also be available to those who desire to create proofs for their digital presses.

Different printing conditions, substrates, or printing standards around the world can make it difficult to ensure consistent spot colours and brand image. However, according to GMG, Colorserver automatically converts files into industry-standard or custom output colour spaces, assuring that a file will print accurately and consistently, no matter where the press is. To accompany GMG Colorserver, GMG Smartprofiler lets users easily calibrate digital presses, eliminating the ‘guesswork’ when it comes to profiling presses for complex print jobs.

“The genesis of this global relationship began when we heard that a customer served by our UK office was able to match a well-known brand’s spot colour using our CMYK toner system and GMG Colorserver. They were able to replicate the colour within a 1.6 ∆E, easily meeting the brand’s requirements,” Justin Green, product manager at Mark Andy Digital said. “We look forward to offering GMG solutions to help our customers grow their businesses and offerings to their customers.”

Meanwhile, Darrian Young, global partnership manager, GMG Color said, “We are thrilled to work with Mark Andy to provide its digital press users better spot colour matching. Beyond their strong user base of flexo press customers, they have built a solid foundation of digital press users."

"We believe we can provide them better consistency on press no matter when a job is printed, and a better match between different devices on the manufacturing floor,” he concluded.
