Four Pees and GMG announce integrated solution for Large Format Production
Ghent, Belgium 12 May 2011 – Four Pees, exclusive worldwide distributor of the PrintFactory software suite and GMG, a leading developer and supplier of high-end color management software solutions announce the launch of PrintFactory GMG Edition, an integrated solution combining PrintFactory and GMG ColorServer/SmartProfiler, at Fespa Digital from 24th to 27th of May in Hamburg, Germany.
PrintFactory GMG Edition bundles the PrintFactory suite for banner, sign and super wide format printing with GMG ColorServer and GMG SmartProfiler to speed up file handling and preparation and to achieve superb color results. PrintFactory GMG Edition offers a unified production platform to drive all large format production in the most efficient and consistent way.
Easily check, correct and prepare jobs for production
PrintFactory GMG Edition is the most complete production solution for large format printing. It can print jobs as they are being processed, driving more than 600 different printing, cutting and CTS devices. It has a unique, built-in preflight engine, which makes it possible to check each file that is opened against a set of job specific parameters. If a mistake is detected, PrintFactory GMG Edition allows editing or correcting virtually any object element in the job. PrintFactory GMG Edition also provides a dedicated LFP job preparation environment, making it possible to easily add folds, seams and tunnels, define die cut lines and create tiles and grommets. For recurring jobs, smart templates make the preparation even faster.
Achieve consistent colors
Through the integration of the GMG ColorServer color management software and the GMG SmartProfiler profiling and calibration tool, PrintFactory GMG Edition not only increases productivity and operator flexibility, it provides consistent colors and highest production reliability. GMG ColorServer processes any kind of color conversions fully automatically in order to obtain uniform color standards. GMG SmartProfiler is the user-friendly solution for creating GMG ColorServer color profiles and printer calibrations for Large Format Printing systems. Thus, GMG ColorServer and GMG SmartProfiler ensure cross-media consistency while maintaining the same color and print quality.
GMG FlowConnect is the link between the color management solution GMG ColorServer/SmartProfiler and the PrintFactory workflow, enabling complete seamless integration. The GMG FlowConnect technology enables job ticket-controlled, automatic and flexible handling of jobs. The status of all jobs can be tracked completely in PrintFactory. Once installed, the GMG color management runs fully automatically in the background. This allows for an optimal communication between the product components and ensures the best possible performance.
For Print Shops and Industrial LFP alike
PrintFactory GMG Edition comes in two versions specifically adapted to the needs of two target customers:
PrintFactory GMG Edition for Print Shops can be applied for inkjet-based large format production that mainly focuses on indoor communication such as banner, POP/POS, displays and small vehicle wrapping.
PrintFactory GMG Edition for Industrial LFP targets the very large format production with mixed production processes, offering a combination of indoor and outdoor communication such as billboards, POP/POS and large vehicle wraps.
