Durst Group, a leading manufacturer of digital printing and production technologies, announces the integration of GMG spectral colour management technology into its proprietary workflow and the Open Software Initiative’s open Smart Factory portfolio. The official launch of the integration will take place around Printing United 2025.
Durst aims to set a new industry standard for automated and colour-accurate printing, regardless of the printing system or substrate. The Durst workflow will be delivered with embedded GMG spectral colour management and existing customers with a software agreement can benefit from this solution at no additional cost, according to Durst. The integration extends across Labels & Packaging, Corrugated and Sign & Display.
‘With the integration of GMG into our Durst workflow and open Smart Factory platform, we offer a unique level of colour accuracy that is fully automated and scalable,’ says Michael Deflorian, Director Business Unit Software & Solutions at Durst Group. “At the same time, this is a first concrete example of true best-of-breed integration in line with our Open Software Initiative.
