Prototype proofing with VersaUV LEC2-330 / LEC2-640
VersaUV LEC2 series driven by GMG ColorProof is used to create color accurate and reproducible prototype proofs. The new printer model is the successor to Roland VersaUV LEC-300 and features an LED curing system and additional ECO-UV inks in White and Gloss.
The main differences between the LEC2 series and the previous LEC model are a newly developed print head and LED lamps, as well as an increased opacity of White ink. The new print head is optimized for precision dot placement. The more powerful LED lamps make ink curing even faster. The new print head and LED lamps also help to increase ink density.

One-click update
From now on, the license information on the USB dongle will be updated automatically when a new chargeable version is released and if you have a GMG Software Update Contract (SUC).
Instead of checking the GMG website, downloading a setup, and manually install it, there is now a very easy way to ensure that GMG ColorProof is always up to date.
When a new version is available and your system is connected to the internet, you will be notified about this version in GMG ColorProof .
If this is a chargeable version, your dongle will be updated automatically and you do not need to worry about having the right license anymore if you have an SUC. You can simply click the Install button. GMG ColorProof will take care of the rest.
End-to-end encryption in GMG ColorProof GO
All PDF and images in the cloud will be safe-guarded by an end-to-end encryption using individual private keys on each GMG ColorProof system, which provides the highest level of data security. No one without a key will be able to access the content.
End-of-Service-Life: X-Rite i1 And X-Rite i1iO
GMG ColorProof will not support the measuring devices X-Rite i1 and X-Rite i1iO, which have already been taken out of production by X-Rite, anymore. Newer generations of the product, i.e. X-Rite i1Pro2 / X-Rite i1iO 2nd Generation, X-Rite i1Pro3 / X-Rite i1iO 3rd Generation, and X-Rite i1Pro3 Plus / X-Rite i1iO 3rd Generation Plus will still be supported.

Verification of multicolor control strips from FOGRA and IDEAlliance
GMG ColorProof and GMG OpenColor are the ideal solution for proofing jobs prepared for a multicolor print process—traditional spot color printing as well as a fixed ink setup or ECG. It has already been possible to print, measure, and validate GMG control strips with spot colors in earlier versions of GMG ColorProof. Now, this version fully supports multicolor control strips defined by official print standards, i.e. FOGRA MediaWedge Multicolor 5C and the newly added IDEAlliance ECG Digital Control Strip 2019. With an Epson proofer and an integrated ILS30 measuring device, the strips are now automatically measured and a verification label is printed on the proof.
The proof verification for spot colors from GMG OpenColor now works exactly the same way as for CMYK. You can either use the target values from the GMG OpenColor proof profile or define a custom target in form of a GMG ProofControl Print Standard XML.
Using this feature requires a license, a printer with an integrated ILS30 measuring device, and GMG OpenColor with Proofing option. The feature is limited to GMG OpenColor profiles and proof standards. The GMG OpenColor proof profile needs to include CMYK. The report functionality is not yet available for multicolor control strips.
This feature requires GMG OpenColor 2.4.2 or higher. Please follow the link for more information on this version: https://gmgcolor.com/support/help/opencolor/opencolor-whats-new/2-4.htm
Custom tolerances for proof verification using dynamic GMG OpenColor profiling For static profiling with GMG OpenColor, it was already possible to either calculate the CMYK target values from the proof profile or to use the target values from a GMG ProofControl Print Standard XML. This feature is now supported for dynamic GMG OpenColor profiling as well. Proof verification works in the same way for static and dynamic profiling. Now you can define your own custom tolerances in the GMG ProofControl Print Standard.
You want to use stricter tolerances? You can create a custom print standard from an MXN profile in GMG ColorProof and then edit the tolerances in GMG ProofControl.
You want to use custom target values? You can create a custom print standard either from an official print standard or from an MXN profile and then edit the target values (and tolerances) in GMG ProofControl.
Up-to-date information from the online help The revamped GMG ColorProof Helpcenter is always up-to-date and offers you a whole lot of information such as a version history, feature descriptions, and step-by-step instructions. Each dialog box has a context-sensitive link to the helpcenter. Just hit the F1 key and the browser will show you the relevant information. Alternatively, you can access the helpcenter from the main menu: Help>Show>Help.

- JetComp 8503 White Cavitated Poly Film
- JetComp 8510 White Poly Label
- JetComp 8515 White LDPE Freezer Bag Film
For each media type, two separate calibration sets will be provided for contone and halftone proofs.
