GMG ColorServer
Tübingen, Germany
What it is
GMG ColorServer converts print data from varied sources into a selected output color space for digital and analog production. Its MX technology handles CMYK, RGB, extended-gamut, and multicolor files while preserving the black channel and stabilizing sensitive color areas. Spot colors can be converted to the chosen output space, including fixed digital press sets such as CMYK or CMYKOGV, and extended-gamut work can use orange, green, and violet inks. A client-server architecture distributes processing across connected machines and supports multiple simultaneous jobs. The software connects with workflow systems such as ESKO, DALIM, Enfocus, and Kodak, and supports API or XML job-ticket hot-folder integration. GMG positions it for changing print conditions, substrates, and multi-site production, with printer profiling and ICC profile management. Supported systems include Windows 11, Windows Server 2019, 2022, and 2025, plus macOS 10.15 or later. Pricing is on request; product licenses must be requested separately, and upgrading from version 5.x to 5.7 requires a new license.
