Automation and standardization are the keys to efficient and profitable digital print production with less errors, less waste and lower costs. Enabling print service providers and manufacturers to stay ahead, ColorGATE strengthens digital printing processes with new workflow automation features by supporting the state-of-the-art tools. Customers, partners and interested parties are invited to learn more about the new ColorGATE Productionserver 23 family at FESPA Munich (booth A1-A60).
- Productionserver is a market-leading color management, RIP and print data generation solution for industrial digital printing and graphic arts printing. With more than 25 years of experience not only in the development of printing software, but also in the fields of sign & display, surface decoration, ceramics, textiles and packaging, ColorGATE offers unique features to fully support these applications.
- The new version 23 opens up new possibilities for automated color correction. Décor and packaging applications often require the reprinting of an existing printed reference. If color deviations occur during reprinting, they can be automatically corrected with ColorGATE’s Fingerprint and Color Correction Loop technology. Productionserver 23 now supports a wide range of measuring devices for iterative color correction using Color Correction Loop technology.
- Customers can achieve a new level of automation with Productionserver’s REST API. New features are available in Productionserver 23, facilitating the integration in existing production processes.
- ColorGATE will support connectors to OneVision and Enfocus workflows.
- With Productionserver 23, customers also benefit from various improvements in PDF support as well as general stability and performance optimizations with Adobe PDF Print Engine 6.1.
- ColorGATE supports many printing, cutting and measurement devices. With version 23, more than 1,850 devices can be driven with ColorGATE.
- ColorGATE will be demonstrating the new functions and tools at FESPA Munich. Customers, partners and interested parties are invited to discuss trends and future projects at booth A1-A60.
Productionserver 23 – Precision Meets Automation
ColorGATE Productionserver is a color management and RIP solution for industrial digital printing and the graphic arts industry. It is available in dedicated versions for packaging, ceramic, decorative and textile printing, where it often forms the backbone of complex printing and production processes.
The core function of Productionserver is to generate print data from design files. These print data are specifically generated for the connected digital printing system, considering the required data format, ink setup, print mode, substrate and all other parameters that affect print quality and color reproduction. In this way, optimum print results are achieved at different production times, on different systems and in different locations, which match a defined reference – a key requirement in industrial print production.
Functional requirements such as ink saving can also be taken into account. ColorGATE is a pioneer in the extensive automation of such processes and, together with its partners among the manufacturers of printing and finishing systems as well as measuring devices, is able to provide highly efficient workflows that can save time and money for print service providers, digital printers and producers of decorative surfaces, textiles, ceramics and packaging.
