GMG ColorProof 5.11 provides automated update notifications

Print Solutions

GMG ColorProof 5.11 is now available in a version that provides automated notifications about new software updates. The so-called ‘patches’ can be installed directly out of the application. In addition, the update to Adobe PDF Print Engine 5.1 brings more compatibility with the latest Adobe products.

Numerous and sophisticated features pay off in many ways for the user, explained product manager Jens Bloeck: ‘Automated notification of new patches may sound simple, but it is an important tool for the workflow and the daily work of our customers. The update to Adobe PDF Print Engine 5.1 is also a benefit – it enables our customers to be on an equal level with technical progress.’

GMG ColorProof 5.11 automatically announces new patches at application start. With a single click, the patch is not only installed, but also the required restart of the software is executed. The new feature provides a clear benefit for all users – eliminating manual downloads, installation and rebooting. Also, no patch is missed, while the effort for the user is reduced to a minimum. To keep the time factor as low as possible and not interrupt the workflow, major software updates are treated separately. At the same time, the decision when patches are installed remains with the user: The option for a later installation is of course given.

GMG ColorProof 5.11 ensures compatibility with the latest Adobe products to deliver consistent results. The RIP integrated in GMG ColorProof is based on the Adobe PDF Print Engine (APPE) and complies with the update to APPE 5.1 the latest standard. Users of version 5.11 now have access to the latest PDF 2.0 technology, whose advantages are convincing: Thanks to APPE 5.1 both digital and commercial printing can exploit the full potential of functions such as spectral data for spot colours or black point compensation.
