GMG Color (GMG), developer of market-leading proofing and color management tools, will accelerate its partnership with HP Indigo by showcasing the new GMG ColorProof for HP Indigo solution at Labelexpo Europe 2023, taking place 11 – 14 September in Brussels.

At the event, GMG will launch a new evolution of its established GMG ColorProof platform, tailored in partnership with HP to leverage the power of digital HP DesignJet proofing.

Taking proofs off-press to unlock valuable press capacity, reduce costs and accelerate production, the technology sets the stage for a more robust and efficient digital printing process. Coming from the US, GMG Color will be represented at Labelexpo by Birgit Plautz, GMG Americas director of technology; and Paulo Monteiro, GMG Americas vice president of sales; together with global partnership manager, Darrian Young.

Throughout Labelexpo, Plautz will be stationed at the HP stand, P100, to demonstrate the advantages on-press, including the HP Indigo V12 and 200K Digital Presses being launched at the event, the successor to the label and flexible packaging market-leading HP Indigo Series 5 and 6 presses. The HP stand will feature several state-of-the-art digital presses including the Indigo 6K, operating with GMG ColorProof technology to simulate varied conditions and machines in label converting.

Monteiro said, “As we launch the HP Indigo-specific version of GMG ColorProof – a true game-changer for narrow web printers and converters – we are delighted to connect with businesses from across the category. The theme for Labelexpo 2023 is ‘modern legends of print’, and GMG certainly has a place in that list, with solutions trusted by printers from all corners of the globe.

“As well as celebrating our new proofing tech collaboration with HP and marking the launch of the Indigo V12 and 200K Digital Presses, we will be discussing how digital printers can use better proofing and color management workflows to reduce costs and free up valuable digital press capacity. The benefits extend beyond HP Indigo. Today’s label converters are under pressure to deliver speed, precision and savings all in one, and that’s no simple task. However, it’s made possible with better color communication workflows. The GMG Color team will be available at the GMG Color stand 11C20.”
