Productionserver 21 features the latest Adobe PDF Print Engine 5.6 to keep the RIP and colour management package compatible with the latest creative applications and PDF standards used in the printing industry, explained ColorGate. The new ColorEqualizer software comes in two versions: Design and Production. “ColorEqualizer extracts the key colours from the design and generates a Colour ID, which is passed on to the production partner or the production department together with the design,“ explained the company. “The printer uses the counterpart ColorEqualizer Production in order to capture the printed Colour ID colourimetrically, then the Colour ID is printed together with the design on the production printing system. The result is also measured – if the print result differs from the original design, ColorEqualizer calculates new print data.” imagesmag.uk/ColorGate-April-2021 Geiger joins UN Global Compact and is awarded EcoVadis gold medal Promotional products distributor Geiger has joined the United Nations Global Compact, and been awarded a gold medal from EcoVadis.
