Proofing and workflow supplier GMG, represented in Australia by Kayell Imaging, has relocated its Asian region sales manager, Ivan Khoo, to Australia to support a growing installed base of GMG proofing and colour management workflow systems. Previously based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Khoo will be joined by a factory-trained technical engineer in October with both working out of Kayell’s Artarmon, NSW office and showroom. These two appointments are in addition to Kayell’s qualified colour experts in NSW and Victoria, and dealers nationwide.
“Australia has gone from zero to hero for GMG since we exhibited with Kayell at Pacprint, just one year ago,” says Khoo. "Many top agencies, printers, designers and prepress houses have adopted GMG because we are uncompromising on colour. Put simply, the proof must match the press and please everyone from brand manager to press operator.
“GMG’s approach to colour is not limited to ICC. We go beyond ICC and render highly accurate, smooth colour proofs to match ISO, SWOP, 3DAP, GRACol or any other standard. ICC-only separations just can not render a rich, full gamut compared to GMG’s colour server separations.
"It is this precision that has enabled us to win proofing business of the Cummings Agency here in Australia and many other high-profile firms around the world who demand the best colour including Ikea, M&C Saatchi, Schawk, Axel Springer, Burda, Quebecor, Times Printers Singapore, C&C, BMW, Nestlé, Ogilvy & Mather, Leo Burnett.”
Kayell director Robert Gatto says, “having Ivan and a technical support person direct from GMG here is a fantastic boost to local colour resources. It’s also a demonstration of GMG’s total commitment to the market. We’ve had some big successes recently and the extra resources are coming in to support these.”
Kayell Imaging is an Australia-owned supplier to the professional graphic arts and photographic sectors. In addition to GMG, other brands handled include GTI, Gretagmacbeth, Colorvision, Eizo, Epson, Elinchrom, and a host of pro photo cameras and accessories.
GMG is based in Tűbingen, Germany and has over 8500 installations globally. The company leads the world in high-end colour management software for professional photographers, designers, advertising agencies, packaging and commercial printing/publishing.
