International print technology company donates color management software to RIT

GMG Shade not too long ago donated a single of its high-conclude color administration computer software programs, ColorProof, to Rochester Institute of Technology. The system will be employed as element of classroom instruction and research assignments dependent in RIT’s Division of Graphic Media Sciences and Know-how (GMST) to better consider color high quality prior to print generation.

By means of a palms-on curriculum, GMST learners discover to produce and handle cross-media applications for use in today’s evolving graphic media sector. This course of action guarantees that styles are mistake-absolutely free prior to output, said Bilge Nazli Altay, GMST assistant professor.

“Our students find out the entire printing approach from beginning to close. They start off with types on computer systems, and they can use this software program to simulate individuals layouts prior to they are provided to a printer. They can verify if there are coloration inaccuracies, lacking photographs, or incorrect fonts, for instance. This is the crucial level of catching possible troubles before going to manufacturing,” said Altay, who began at RIT in its University of Engineering Know-how in 2021. She has skills in the place of gravure and flexography, equally subtle print processes that the department is recognised for, as perfectly as offer printing and resources science.

Currently, undergraduate and graduate students in the application, and those in packaging science and industrial design and style, are employing the process to simulate and print evidence label and packaging layouts in advance of they are created on the department’s six-color flexo push, to recognize the predictability of coloration. They also incorporate new procedures in comprehension colour profiles, also referred to as the diverse shade expectations and criteria, that firms or countries have for print resources. 

“GMG Americas is happy to assist students’ attempts at Rochester Institute of Technological know-how and support in exploration plans,” stated Birgit Plautz, supervisor, technical companies, GMG Americas. “We consider it is an priceless chance to display how impactful color management is in the best quality—and charge efficiencies—of print output. We seem ahead to operating with the future era of print executives.”
