I work at a pretty large packaging printer that specializes in "high end" products. We usually print on either 24 point SBS stock or run single face laminate for our customers. We have recently purchased a new rip/screening package utilizing Harliquin HDS stochastic screening and I was wondering...

Does anybody know of free software that works with an X-Rite iO device, which can analyze color from either a provided swatch (like cloth) or a printed sheet and will convert it's finding to either RGB or CMYK values? Thanks, Jeff

Hello, I am working with a GMG color management system and plotting to an Epson 9900. Everything seemed to be going great for me until I received another proof from a customer and it's small type was very sharp, whereas my proof has much fuzzier text. Seems like we are both calibrated to G7...

I am running GMG on a Epson 9900. I created my MX4 profile about 1 1/2 years ago and until now have been running just fine. Lately, when calibrating the Epson (with the GMG calibration wizard), my average delta E is fine (around .45) but my max delta E will not come down below 3.25. I have...

My company is in the process of upgrading our current version of GMG (4.5) to 5.1. The interface looks quite different than what I'm used to seeing with 4.5. My question is: do you think the upgrade is pretty easy to learn or would it be advisable to get in-house training? Would the application...

We are using the GMG color management system and located at the proof control station, we have a UV cut filter on our X-rite iO. Can someone explain to me what the benefits of a UV filter are apposed to a non-UV cut filter? Thanks in advance, Jeff

When we had our GMG Color Management system installed, I was provided with a text document that contained G7 standards that I was able to import into GMG (as target values) as my start point before the iteration stage. This document was called: "GRACoL2006_Coated1". I am unable to locate where...

We are a G7 shop that runs GMG as our color management system. I have received a test proof from another vendor (a G7 28X40 form downloaded from the Gracol website) and I want to read the charts to determine if it is with G7 specs. The only scanning applications I have is either GMG or Colorport...

I created some special spot color definitions within the GMG spot color editor (GOE inks) and added them into the current library. The problem is when we use them they only show up if the Spot color is at 100%, any other percentage and nothing images. I'm not sure what I have done incorrect. Any...

I created some special spot color definitions within the Rampage spot color editor (GOE inks) and added them into the current library. The problem is when we use them they only show up if the Spot color is at 100%, any other percentage and nothing images. I'm not sure what I have done...

I am profiling some paper for an Epson 9880 using the GMG color management system and I’m having trouble getting satisfactory results. With both papers (EFI Validation and Epson SemiMatte) the average delta E reading is pretty good, both coming is around .5. The problem is the magenta/yellow...

I am looking to achieve a very high level of saturation off my GMG color management device for output on the epson 9800. I understand that I need some kind of target and was told that the Japanese coat icc profile would give me a target that I'm look for. Would this target be the best one to...

I have been asked as well to create an uncoated profile for out GMG color management system. I would like to run uncoated stock through our epson 9800, but I do not know what company makes good uncoated stock. My 2 questions are: 1) Does anybody know who makes a good uncoated stock. 2) I do not...

My company has been printing a particular job on a standard 24 point coated SBS stock with our akiyama 40” 6 color press for many years. We have recently started printing this job (same stock) on our 50” KBA rapida 8 color without much success. A special green build in the file with only 9%...
