With the advancement and development of color management technology, the original complex color management process has become simple and controllable, which in turn reduces the technical requirements for operators. Therefore, printing companies should boldly try their own color management system, thoroughly improve the quality of printed products, and increase their production efficiency.

I think the complete color management system should go through the entire printing process. The purpose of color management is to establish a color space that can convert each other between displays, printers, and printers, and eventually achieve color-accurate printing. Therefore, establishing a complete color management system requires high-quality hardware equipment support—professional monitors, proofers, CTF/CTP, and high-quality printing equipment. Due to the instability of the equipment, the color management software system process is required to control the flow of equipment from prepress to printing in order to ensure the quality of the color management system.
The level of actual use of color management at home and abroad is basically quite different, which is related to the level of development of domestic and foreign printing technologies. Domestic companies generally believe that advanced hardware equipment is more important, and ignore the importance of software systems; at the same time, domestic companies do not understand the level of color management, many people even think that color management is digital proofing. Under such circumstances, the actual use level of the color management system naturally has a certain gap with foreign countries. Color management should include RGB color management (display, scanner, color space conversion), digital proof color management, printer color management, color inspection. Many large companies in Europe have already established a complete set of color management systems, and domestic companies still have shortcomings.
Compared with previous years, domestic printing companies have begun to realize that color management technology will become more and more important. The application of digital proofing and CTP technology provides an important way for the accurate transmission and control of modern colors. However, due to the fact that the conditions of Chinese companies vary widely, some companies do not match the hardware and software of each process. The management methods are still based on experience, and lack of effective systemic color management and quality control methods. Therefore, despite the introduction of first-class, high-grade prepress and printing equipment, the quality of printed products still remains untenable and color control is still unstable. As a professional color management software vendor like our GMG, we need to do more to promote the practical application of color management.
Now many companies still have a misunderstanding that their own staff, lack of technology, can not do their own color management. In fact, with the advancement and development of color management technology, the original complex color management process has become simple and controllable, which in turn reduces the technical requirements for operators. Therefore, printing companies should boldly try their own color management system, thoroughly improve the quality of printed products, and increase their production efficiency.
As a leader in high-end color management processes, GMG has always been committed to introducing the concept of full-process color management and color standardization concepts to more companies, hoping to share high-quality color management products with more users, and promote technological advancement in the printing industry.
