Especially manufacturers of decorative surfaces (such as wood, ceramics, textiles, or packaging) are often faced with the challenge that the color of the print run must not deviate or deviate only minimally from the production reference – this also applies to reprints or to production at different locations. A prerequisite for this is that the color range of the output system completely covers the color space of the print job.

What is linearization and what do you need it for? In this article, we like to introduce you to this process and discuss our matching module, the Linearization Assistant. Basically, linearization allows you to consistently reproduce a specific combination of media and ink on a printing system.
The demands on printing companies are constantly increasing when it comes to color, quality and efficiency. In order to remain competitive while producing reasonable quality, printing processes must become more and more efficient. Process automation is the way to achieve a good margin, even with short print runs, many jobs and mass customization of products.

At ColorGATE, we are proud to be able to support digital printing systems from a wide range of manufacturers in our products, with over 1,700 drivers currently available. However, there are still cases where it is not possible to integrate a dedicated driver for a particular printer. For many lower-priced printers, the manufacturers do not intend for these to be controlled directly via RIP software; and given the large number of toner-based A4/A3 printers, it makes sense to offer only universal drivers for these in many cases. Fortunately, it is common for these kinds of printers to be controlled directly from Windows, so that you can print from any application. This is something we can take advantage of. This article explains how you can use our universal drivers to control printers without dedicated drivers in Productionserver or Proofgate.
