Sun Chemical services companies around the globe, delivering excellence in ink formulation and in color matching. GMG is excited to partner with Sun Chemical to digitize color communication for Sun Chemical's customers, making the process of creating accurate visual color references even faster and more efficient.
Especially in packaging printing, visual color references – or ink drawdowns - continue to be an important part of the approval and print production process. Traditional practices for color matching and reprints require specialized skills and depend on analog tools and processes. GMG ColorCard opens an entirely new chapter and enables the digital production of color cards based on the ink kitchen’s spectral measurement values.
Integrating GMG ColorCard, Sun Chemical can now help their customers move to a more digitized workflow. Adding GMG ColorCard to the SunColorBox gives Sun Chemical customers the opportunity to create accurate color references on-site, at their own location, further reducing turnaround time and eliminating shipping costs. The solution ensures that printers and converters using Sun Chemical can meet their clients’ highest expectations in terms of both quality and turnaround time.
Patrice Aurenty, Business Leader, Sun Chemical, comments: “This partnership continues to build on our innovative set of tools. By partnering with GMG Color, Sun now offers a best-in-class solution to help customers automate color communication, reduce lead times, improve color consistency, and get to market faster.”
GMG ColorCard is fully automated and easy to operate. Only a few clicks and the entry of basic parameters such as ink, printing process and substrate, is all that’s required.
Marc Levine, Director of Business Development, GMG Color said: “For the packaging supply chain, punctual and precise color communication is critical. We believe that GMG ColorCard is the next evolutionary step in communicating color expectations quickly and accurately. Our partnership with Sun Chemical illustrates that digital drawdowns are the new best practice for color specification. Through this partnership, Sun Chemical customers now have a faster, more accurate way to specify color and drive color success.”
A packaging project often requires multiple ink drawdowns or additional color cards to be produced later in the process. GMG ColorCard enables identical color cards to be produced in minutes across multiple locations.
