Problem Solution

Our solution

Automated verification, intelligent correction, and certified compliance for every incoming file.

GMDE implements preflight and color management systems that automatically verify every incoming file, correct issues whenever possible, and generate a compliance report before the file is approved and enters the production workflow.

Preflight automatico su standard configurabili

Verifica di ogni parametro tecnico rilevante (risoluzione immagini, profili ICC, font, abbondanze, trasparenze, standard PDF/X-1a o PDF/X-4) con regole personalizzabili per ogni tipo di produzione.

Correzione automatica degli errori non critici

Gli errori correggibili (conversioni colore, incorporamento font, normalizzazione trasparenze) vengono risolti automaticamente senza interrompere il flusso; gli errori bloccanti vengono segnalati con indicazione precisa del problema.

Gestione centralizzata dei profili colore

Libreria di profili ICC per ogni tipo di carta e macchina, con conversione automatica dei file allo spazio colore corretto per ogni destinazione di stampa.

Report di conformità per ogni file processato

Documentazione tecnica completa per ogni file che entra in produzione, con registro delle verifiche eseguite, degli errori trovati e delle correzioni applicate.

The problem we know well

A problematic file discovered during printing creates immediate costs, slows production, and puts delivery deadlines at risk.

Files received from customers, agencies, marketing departments, and design studios often vary significantly in quality. Missing fonts, incorrect color profiles, low-resolution images, missing bleed areas, and non-compliant PDFs may seem like technical issues, but if they go undetected, they quickly become costly production errors.

Lastre incise su file con errori tecnici che emergono solo in stampa, con costi di rilavorazione e ritardi sulla consegna.

Gestione del colore inconsistente tra file diversi, con risultati cromatici non prevedibili in fase di proofing e in tiratura.

Tempo degli operatori di prestampa assorbito dalla gestione manuale dei file problematici, invece che dalla produzione.

Impossibilità di certificare la conformità dei file agli standard richiesti (PDF/X, ISO 12647) con documentazione oggettiva e tracciabile.

benefits

Errors detected before they become costly

A problematic file stopped before reaching the RIP costs only a few minutes to manage. The same file discovered after production can result in wasted plates, paper, time, and customer dissatisfaction.

Smoother production, fewer interruptions

By eliminating problematic files upstream, the production workflow runs more smoothly, avoiding disruptions caused by issues discovered during printing.

Predictable and consistent color management

With centralized ICC profiles and automated color conversions, color output remains consistent and predictable across different paper types and printing presses, regardless of how the original file was created.

Documentation to support quality certification

A compliance report is generated for every processed file, providing the documentation required for ISO compliance, quality audits, and full production traceability.

Less time spent on low-value tasks

Automated file verification replaces manual checking, allowing prepress operators to focus on activities that require genuine technical expertise.

Seamless integration into existing prepress workflows

The system integrates as the first automated stage of the existing workflow, without requiring changes to the broader production infrastructure.
