GMG Color is using Labelexpo Europe in Barcelona to unveil a sneak peek of GMG InstantMatch, a brand-new solution designed to tackle one of the most stubborn pressroom challenges: managing small but frequent color shifts without time-consuming reprofiling.

This tool is engineered to give converters and digital printers a powerful, press-side solution for faster make-readies, reduced waste, and consistent brand color.

One of the first beta users, Blue Label Packaging Company, shares their experience, saying, “As an all-digital printer, Blue Label Packaging Company has a unique set of challenges when it comes to managing color consistency. GMG InstantMatch provided us with a powerful solution for addressing the frequent, small changes at the press level that can lead to time-consuming reprofiling and maintenance. We’ve been able to greatly improve our print make-readies and deliver industry-leading color with the help of GMG InstantMatch.”

Providing solutions

The label and packaging industry faces mounting pressures:

• Brand demands for faster turnarounds – every minute on-press matters.
• Consistent color across multiple devices – digital, flexo, and hybrid workflows need the same result.
• Cost and sustainability pressures – reducing waste and ink usage is now business-critical.

InstantMatch was designed to directly address these realities, giving converters a practical, reliable tool to streamline production and boost profitability.

Helping converters win

Beyond InstantMatch, GMG is demonstrating a full ecosystem of solutions designed to:

• Eliminate guesswork in proofing – giving brand owners confidence with accurate color approvals before production starts.
• Automate complex color conversions – ensuring consistency across devices, jobs, and substrates while saving time and reducing ink use.
• Shorten make-readies and minimize waste – helping converters get to sellable color faster while cutting costs and meeting sustainability goals.
• Bridge digital and conventional workflows – enabling the same precision whether outputting to an HP Indigo or a flexo press.
