Release Time： 2022-11-30 18:53:54.245

　　Preface

　　Monday, February 10, 2020, was an ordinary day, but the COVID-19 epidemic made it extraordinary. Today is the official resumption of work after the Spring Festival holiday. Everyone is concerned about how to do a good job in epidemic prevention and control, and how to ensure orderly work even when not all personnel are in place.

　　A printing factory contacted us and asked: "Is there a good way to allow production personnel to create, edit, and monitor proofing jobs on their own computers?" This can prevent excessive contact between people on one item, save time costs, and improve work efficiency. I originally thought of using remote desktop, but the client said that there are limited personnel and wants to improve work efficiency. If possible, it would be best if several users could use it simultaneously. Then I suggested that they consider using GMG ColorProof WebClient.

　　Many friends may not be familiar with GMG ColorProof WebClient. I will take this opportunity to give a brief introduction to GMG ColorProof WebClient.

　　GMG ColorProof + WebClient Network Client Technology

　　GMG ColorProof WebClient is an important network client technology that makes proofing simpler and more convenient for many users. It allows users to submit, edit, and monitor jobs from any PC or Mac computer within the company. With WebClient, GMG ColorProof users have the ability to create, edit, and monitor proofing jobs on any PC or Mac computer within the company network for the first time. Moreover, several users can use ColorProof simultaneously. In particular, the configuration of spot color channels is also facilitated and accelerated through WebClient, and the effects of spot color modifications can be viewed in the visual job preview.

　　With the GMG ColorProof WebClient network client function, users can run GMG ColorProof from their Mac or PC computers. Besides, what value will users gain from it?

　　How to simplify the proofing workflow?

　　Multi-user support

　　Multiple users can use the WebClient network client at the same time, so ColorProof is more efficient.

　　Remote connection

　　Each operator can track jobs in ColorProof from their own Mac and PC computers. You can see which jobs are printing and which jobs have been printed. Checking the ColorProof job status no longer requires a VNC virtual network computer or remote desktop.

　　Create jobs

　　Users can create jobs (continuous tone files or 1-bit files) by dragging and dropping files into the ColorProof hot folder (visible in the WebClient user interface).

　　Modify spot colors

　　WebClient allows assigning spot colors to each image channel. The lack of spot color assignment is the most common problem in manually editing jobs. Now this task can be easily accomplished through WebClient.

　　Job preview

　　WebClient displays a thumbnail preview image to help identify jobs and view the effects of spot color modifications.

　　Assemble your favorite hot folders

　　Each user can create their own list of favorite hot folders, marked with special icons. Users can easily create jobs by dragging and dropping. This avoids browsing a large list of hot folders to find the correct file.

　　Keep, cancel, print, and reprint

　　In the WebClient interface, you can keep, cancel, print, or even reprint queued jobs in the history list.

　　Track printer status

　　Each operator can check the printer status, so it is easy to see if the printer is out of paper or ink. A link page for the internal status of the printer provides more detailed information.

　　Work in a browser or independently

　　WebClient can be opened in a web browser such as Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, or Google Chrome, or launched from the Windows Start menu or Mac Dock like other applications, without requiring a browser.

　　Multiple ColorProof, one client

　　WebClient can be used to monitor multiple ColorProof programs. You can view jobs and printer status for up to three different programs in one window.

　　The GMG ColorProof WebClient network client function can help printing companies reduce communication costs, improve and shorten proofing preparation time, and accurately achieve goals. It helps printing companies achieve profitability and thus improve their core competitiveness. It helps printing companies transition from manufacturing to intelligent manufacturing.

　　Some other functions of GMG ColorProof

　　Faster RIP speed

　　A new "Fast RIP" option has been added. Multi-threading technology utilizes multi-core CPUs to make RIP faster.

　　Excellent gray balance

　　The GMG digital proofing system can handle gray balance excellently, making the samples more accurate.

　　Powerful spot color processing capabilities

　　Spot color simulation has always been a challenge in packaging proofing. GMG's powerful capabilities in this area have been fully recognized by the market.

　　Simplified calibration package

　　One-time calibration for multiple uses. Production proofing is different from traditional printing proofing. When calibrating each type of paper, the printing mode and resolution are very important. Production proofing, such as Epson 80680 series printers, will have different calibration needs. GMG calibration packages are classified according to the model of the production printer, similar combinations of printing media and printing modes. Each calibration package is based on a calibrated reference print setting, including all printer settings, so it can be applied to all jobs after one calibration without affecting quality.

　　Easier to create jobs with white ink/silver ink/varnish

　　New features have been added to the manual job manager: print layers. For example, a printer with special inks, such as white ink, varnish, or silver ink, can now automatically generate multi-layer printing, using at least one special ink in one job.

　　Include and remove paper simulation

　　Usually, proofing programs include paper simulation to achieve accurate colors, but sometimes the appearance of the actual production paper differs from the proofing paper. GMG ColorProof has added a paper color option to turn off paper color simulation when generating proofing curves.

Standardized Color Management Strategy for Enhancing Brand Image

Standardization Strategy for Color Management to Enhance Brand Image In today's increasingly competitive market, brand image has become a key factor in a company's success or failure. Color, as an important element affecting brand image, requires standardized management. So, what is color management standardization? Simply put, it is using a consistent color strategy to ensure brand consistency across different channels and touchpoints. Next, we will delve into how to enhance brand image through color management standardization. Psychological Effects of Color Have you noticed that the colors of certain brands can unintentionally resonate with your emotions? For example, red often evokes passion and vitality, while blue gives a sense of stability and trust. These psychological effects of color are not accidental but rather carefully considered strategic choices. Through color management standardization, companies can leverage these psychological effects to enhance consumer brand recognition. For example, fast-food brands often use bright colors to stimulate appetite and desire to buy, while luxury brands tend to use dark tones to convey nobility and elegance. Necessity of Color Management Standardization Imagine if a brand uses bright orange in its online store but uses cool gray in its physical store. This inconsistency will confuse consumers and weaken brand recognition. Therefore, color management standardization is crucial for maintaining a consistent brand image and enhancing consumer trust.

Prepress physical proofing: An important step in improving print quality

Pre-press physical proofing: A crucial step in improving the quality of printed products. In the printing industry, pre-press physical proofing is an indispensable key step. It helps customers and printing companies confirm the design effect in advance, avoiding deviations between the finished product and expectations, thereby reducing unnecessary cost waste. Through physical proofing, the details of color, material, and process can be visually inspected to ensure that the final printed product meets the requirements. The advantage of pre-press physical proofing is that it provides a real sample reference. Compared with digital proofing, physical proofing is closer to the effect of the final product, especially in the application of special processes such as gilding, UV, and embossing. Customers can touch and observe the sample to more accurately evaluate the actual effect and make reasonable adjustments. In addition, physical proofing can also help printing companies optimize production processes, discover potential problems in advance, and improve overall production efficiency. In actual operation, the pre-press physical proofing process usually includes design confirmation, material selection, proofing production, and effect evaluation. Each link needs to be treated rigorously to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the proofing. For example, in color management, professional proofing technology can restore the colors of the design draft to avoid affecting the final effect due to color difference problems. At the same time, choosing the right proofing materials is also very important.

Explore best practices for color management standardization

Exploring Best Practices in Color Management Standardization In modern design and production processes, the importance of color management is self-evident. Have you ever been confused by inconsistent colors in a design project? Do color differences when viewing the same image on different screens leave you feeling helpless? This is where color management standardization comes into play. It not only improves work efficiency but also significantly improves the visual effects of the final product. Let's explore the best practices of color management standardization together. What is color management standardization? Simply put, color management standardization refers to a series of specifications and processes designed to ensure color consistency between different devices (such as monitors, printers, etc.). Imagine how embarrassing it would be if you saw the same poster in different places, but the colors were different each time! Through standardization, we can ensure that designers, printers, and customers see consistent colors. Why is color management standardization so important? First, color management standardization can enhance brand image. Whether in advertising, packaging, or product displays, consistent colors make the brand look more professional. Imagine if a company's logo looks different across different channels, how would customers view that brand? Its
