Colorgate, developer of innovative software solutions, RIP software, and printer driver technology for commercial and industrial printing, will be showing its new portfolio of digital print automation solutions at FESPA 2018. The company will be seen in hall 1.1-A.40 at the global print exhibition to be held from May 15 to 18, 2018, in Berlin, Germany.

The company will also display solutions for colour standardisation along the entire process chain in the age of Industry 4.0 with workflow, RIP, and colour management solutions for commercial and industrial printing.

Colorgate will show its Adobe PDF print engine based RIP software families Productionserver, Filmgate, and Proofgate as well as the Industrial Productionserver range for ceramic, décor, packaging, and textile applications. Colorgate solutions profile a system and create a reference state, which is used by Media Device Synchronization (MDS). Then, it can be verified with the Quality Assurance Module (QAM).

Applying Colorgate’s reliable recalibration technology MDS, a printer can be reverted to a reference state. In addition, MDS allows fine adjustment of identical printers in the event of system - or environment-related deviations.

The QAM is a Colorgate RIP software integrated quality assurance system for the digital imaging market, which allows control, documentation of colour consistency, and to archive the results.

The company will also present its application-specific Industrial Productionserver solutions, with intelligent workflow, high automation capability, and modular functionality. The solutions are convincing for the digital decoration of flexible packaging, cardboard and containers for industrial use and for surface decoration.

With the Out of Gamut Module (OOGM,) areas will be highlighted that are out of gamut of the chosen printing workflow (output profile, MIM). A ‘heatmap’ visualisation indicates colours and areas that cannot be printed colour accurately. It is particularly suitable for the use in the production of decorative surfaces and textiles, as well as for digital packaging printing.

To address the growing interest of businesses that are demanding industrial grade solutions for digital surface creation, Colorgate will be presenting a complete scan-to-print solution on the base of the Metis Surf 3D scanner in a unique Colorgate edition in combination with the company’s RIP and colour management software for a variety of decorative digital printing applications.

Also on display at FESPA will be Colorgate’s Measure Mount. It has become the only solution that serves to use of the i1Basic Pro 2 hand-held measuring device from X-Rite for the colour measurement of cylindrical shaped and hollow bodies such as cans, bottles, tubes, and glasses. (GK)
