Esko and GMG announce technology partnership with release of ArtPro+ GMG OpenColor Connector

Esko-Graphics BV. (‘Esko’) and GMG GmbH & Co. KG (‘GMG’) have partnered to deliver a new connection between GMG’s profiling and color prediction solution, GMG OpenColor, and Esko’s native prepress editing software, ArtPro+. The connector will be launched in November 2022.

The collaboration brings two market leaders together to satisfy the demand for highly automated and globally connected color management solutions.

Creating a smoother and more efficient color conversion process for packaging and label printers, trade shops and premedia houses, the new ArtPro+ GMG OpenColor Connector enhances the connectivity and data exchange between the two class-leading solutions. This integration ensures uninterrupted file processing and color conversion, without losing mission-critical metadata between systems – allowing both solutions to operate at their best.

Geert de Proost, Director of Product Management at Esko, is delighted to announce the new technology partnership. “Color management is a complex process and hugely important because there is no single quality standard that you can work with,” he said. “Therefore, it has been hugely satisfying to have collaborated on this project with GMG and bring our respective customers a solid data connection between our two leading solutions.
