GMG Color has formed a partnership with Service Offset Supplies (SOS) to sell its software products in the UK, supporting GMG’s continued growth into the UK wide format, commercial printing, and packaging markets.

The products that will be sold by SOS include GMG ColorServer and GMG ColorProof. The deal also expands the range of software products offered by colour specialist SOS, complementing its hardware available for the aforementioned print sectors.

The GMG prototype proofing option will also be available through SOS. The Roland LEC2-330 UV device that SOS supplies can be driven by GMG ColorProof and GMG OpenColor to deliver calibration and profiling when producing mock-ups on production substrates, with finishing possibilities including metallic effects.

Russell Weller, commercial director at GMG Color UK, said, ‘With over 50 years of experience in the printing industry, SOS is the perfect partner to further strengthen our colour management offering into the UK market. Whether it’s high-end colour accurate proofing, realistic mock-ups, or best in class colour conversion, GMG UK, in partnership with SOS, can fulfil the entire end to end colour management process. I am very excited to be working with the entire SOS team and look forward to a successful relationship.’

SOS technical manager Omran Anwar added, ‘GMG provides a welcome addition to our portfolio of colour management solutions, with some market leading products fulfilling key niche requirements. GMG has excellent credentials and a great reputation; we can only benefit from having them on board as we strive to maintain our position as the go-to source for colour expertise in the UK print market.’
