Sun Chemical, a member of Japan-based DIC group and a leading producer of printing inks and pigments, has partnered with GMG Color, an industry leader in colour management technology, to provide customers with a new digital drawdown solution for colour swatch production. GMG’s solution, GMG ColorCard, will now be available as part of the SunDigiProof service, available within Sun Chemical’s SunColorBox.
Sun Chemical’s SunDigiProof Seine application provides a solution to replace the manual procedure in creating colour swatches which are time-consuming with a digitally-printed version of the same standard, with increased reliability and colour consistency. With the addition of the GMG ColorCard application, the SunDigiProof solution now offers greater levels of flexibility and convenience. The solution is tailormade to fit customers’ requirements giving supply chain partners faster and more productive ways to work that drives innovation, provides flexibility, and reduces costs.
Users can easily automate colour swatch production with GMG ColorCard at Sun Chemical color centers using global colour references for faster turnaround of colour swatches. Being highly intuitive, the software can be operated by anyone, even without staff availability. Customers can print accurate digital drawdowns at their own locations, giving them the power to create colour swatches on demand. This partnership also helps in removing time, effort, and shipping costs from the colour communication, matching, and approval processes.
Patrice Aurenty, Business Leader at Sun Chemical comments on the partnership, “This partnership continues to build on our innovative set of tools within the SunColorBox. By partnering with GMG Color, Sun Chemical now offers a best-in-class solution to help customers automate colour swatch production, communication, reduce lead times, improve colour consistency, and get to the market faster.”
Marc Levine, Director of Business Development at GMG Color adds, “For the packaging supply chain, punctual and precise colour communication is critical. We believe that GMG ColorCard is the next evolutionary step in communicating colour expectations quickly and accurately. Our partnership with Sun Chemical illustrates that digital drawdowns are the new best practice for colour communication. Through this partnership, Sun Chemical customers now have a faster, more accurate way to specify colour and drive colour success.”
