As an alternative to measuring in GMG OpenColor, you can also import measurement files from third-party software.
- On a Characterization / Project page, click the Import button on the Tools & Actions panel.
You can additionally use the characterization data and spot color databases shipped with GMG OpenColor, but it is recommended to print the inks you want to simulate under the exact printing condition (printing process, media type, etc.) you want to proof.
Following the import, you can create a characterization from the measurement data (Tools & Actions > Create Characterization).

Can I import only part of the measurement file?
