Colour management and proofing solutions major GMG has announced the launch of GMG ProofMedia studio OBA matte 150. This is GMG’s first matte surface proofing media containing high Optical Brightening Agents (OBAs). It has been developed for highly accurate proofing and the closest visual match of commonly used uncoated production papers. In the past, it was problematic for design agencies, pre-press and print companies to deliver a visual match between proofs and prints, even with good colourimetric measurement, as matte proofing media contains no or too little fluorescence. This issue can be solved with GMG’s new high OBA contained matte 150 media.
Featuring fluorescent levels comparable to popular production papers, proofs printed on GMG ProofMedia studio OBA matte 150 deliver good visual matches to final production. This includes the FOGRA52 printing condition. GMG studio OBA matte 150 not only contains high OBA, but also has a higher brightness level. As a result, OBA matte 150 provides a larger colour gamut in highlight areas compared to many other proof media.
