Purpose: GMG ColorServer automatically converts print data from varied source data into a desired output color space for digital and analog printing.
Color conversion: Its MX technology converts and optimizes CMYK, RGB, ECG, and multicolor files while preserving the black channel and stabilizing sensitive color areas.
Spot colors: It converts spot colors into the selected output color space, including fixed digital press ink sets such as CMYK or CMYKOGV.
Extended gamut: It supports extended color gamut printing with additional inks such as orange, green, and violet.
Processing architecture: The client-server architecture distributes processing load across connected machines and supports simultaneous processing of multiple jobs.
Workflow integrations: GMG says it can connect with workflow systems such as ESKO, DALIM, Enfocus, and Kodak, and supports integration through an API or XML-based job ticket hot folders.
OpenColor compatibility: If GMG OpenColor is used for profiling, version 3.0 is required for compatibility with the downloadable ColorServer version.
Supported operating systems: The download page lists Windows 11 and Windows Server 2019, 2022, and 2025; it also lists macOS 10.15 or higher and recommends Light Mode for the Mac client.
License requirement: Product licenses must be requested separately, and upgrading from version 5.x to 5.7 requires a new license.
Security and privacy: GMG's website privacy policy says personal data is processed under the EU GDPR and applicable country-specific data protection regulations.
Support: GMG provides a product download center, tutorials, online help, and contact with its support team.
Training: GMG Academy offers tailored workshops and webinars to help customers use ColorServer.
Intended users: GMG describes the product for print production workflows facing varying printing conditions, substrates, and multi-site production, and says it serves both digital and analog printing processes.
