With this integration, Durst is setting a new industry benchmark for automated and color-consistent production – regardless of printing system or substrate. From now on, the Durst Workflow will be delivered with fully embedded spectral color management from GMG. Existing customers with a valid software agreement will receive the new solution at no additional cost.The integration covers all market segments in which Durst operates: labels & packaging, corrugated, and sign & display. In addition, the GMG solution becomes a key component of Durst’s modular Smart Factory architecture, which is central to the Open Software Initiative – Durst’s vision of an open, fully connected production ecosystem.
“By integrating GMG into our Durst Workflow and open Smart Factory platform, we are delivering a new level of color consistency – fully automated and highly scalable,” says Michael Deflorian, Director Business Unit Software & Solutions at Durst Group.
“At the same time, this marks a first real-world example of a true best-of-breed integration in the spirit of our Open Software Initiative. It underlines our ambition to deliver the best software solutions on the market – not just for Durst customers, but for the entire print industry.”
Darrian Young, Global Partnership Manager at GMG, adds: “This partnership brings together two companies with innovation and quality at the core of their DNA. The integration into the Durst Workflow and Smart Factory architecture enables a consistent, media-neutral production process – a real gamechanger for the market.”
With this milestone, Durst Group further strengthens its position as a technology provider for end-to-end production solutions while advancing the open, cross-system approach of the Open Software Initiative. The official product unveiling is scheduled around Printing United 2025.
