In the workflow of the printing industry, proofing is a crucial link, which determines the quality of the printing quality. In the printing industry, the proofing confirmed by the user is the "golden rule" of the printing plant. The most important job of the printing plant is "chasing proofing". Proofing is so important in the printing process that it is highly valued by both printing houses and users.
At present, digital proofing, as an efficient and high-quality new working method, has become the mainstream method of pre-press proofing in the printing industry in developed countries. It outputs the proofs directly on the printer through the color management software, so it is more convenient and fast.
A few days ago, color management software manufacturer GMG launched an online platform-this network platform can provide remote proofing services for different locations around the world. The quality of its online proofing services meets GMG's quality standards. The author landed on the GMG remote proofing platform, the overall process is:
1. Select printing location
2. Pass pictures
3. Fill in the recipient details
4. Payment
5. Confirm
GMG remote proofing process
Due to the continuous development of globalization and integration, nowadays, proof proofs often need to be passed across thousands of mountains and rivers. If something is urgent, a special messenger will be even needed to deliver the proofs. This approach is obviously unable to meet the needs of fast-paced modern production, and it is both costly and time-consuming. GMG company timely launched the online version of the remote proofing system, without the need for thousands of thousands of transfers, customers only need to complete a series of operations on the network, eliminating the time and cost between the customer and the printing plant.
The remote proofing platform developed by GMG reminds us of CGS, which is also a color management software manufacturer. Although there is no separate website to provide remote proofing services, the remote proofing function is also built into the CGS software. We can see that GMG achieves remote proofing by uniting all users around the world, and CGS realizes it by developing software functions, but in the final analysis, their goal is to achieve remote proofing, which saves customers road, time and Cost consistency while achieving color.
From the perspective of technology maturity, CGS has this function built into the software. After the software is connected to the network, it is directly connected to the CGS server. Customers can control the entire process by themselves, and GMG's remote proofing website actually sends the proofing task to the network. Enterprises in different regions do not involve technical research and development issues, so CGS has more technical content. From the perspective of openness, GMG is aimed at all enterprise users. If the promotion is successful, these companies that do remote proofing through the website will naturally become potential customers of GMG, and CGS is only aimed at customers who have purchased software. GMG can be described as Chess is better.

It is worth noting that there is a row of logo icons at the bottom of the website, respectively fogra, PANTONE, swop, gracol, which are internationally recognized standards or standard makers. This shows that gmg has been certified by these standards and meets international standards.
International Standard
The working principle of GMG's online remote proofing website is actually not complicated: through the online entrance, interested users can order a color correction contract proofing that meets GMG quality standards, and then the system will automatically select a cooperative proofing in the customer's area. Company, to complete the corresponding work. The cooperative proofing company samples proofs for users and delivers them to users in the shortest time. GMG also provides users with an online payment system PayPal, and the corresponding service fees can be paid directly through the network.
Essential elements for successful remote proofing
It can be seen from the characteristics of remote proofing that it has unparalleled advantages of traditional proofing, but to successfully implement a remote proofing solution, the following elements are also required:
(1) Consistency of local and remote proofing. The remote proofing solution must meet the requirements consistent with the specific stages in the proofing process used. This requires suitable available network bandwidth. From this point of view, remote proofing solutions are limited by the consistency they can provide. For example, PDF is a very good concept review solution. But the plan will not be used in the final review stage.
(2) Easy to use. This requires high-quality proofing equipment to have a very good calibration system that enables high-performance color accuracy between two remote printing devices. But to use it proficiently, you need to pass some technical means, which is an obstacle for users who only need simple solutions.
(3) The price is moderate and the cost is low. Moderate prices are the key to ensuring that remote proofing can be quickly accepted in this industry. Imaging professionals need a solution that does not require huge amounts of money and can be easily integrated into the workflow.
In recent years, many international printer manufacturers have taken a fancy to the development in this field, and have successively launched proofers suitable for remote proofing. With the advent of the digital and network era, the traditional publishing and printing field has encountered unprecedented opportunities and challenges, and new technologies and new equipment have been tested. However, with the help of these large international companies, I believe that remote proofing will have a brilliant tomorrow!
