Colorgate agrees cooperation with Metis Systems

German Colorgate Digital Output Solutions specialised in software solutions for digital printing and colour management, wants to work jointly with Italian Metis Systems in the field of image and surface detection in future. In the course of the recently-agreed cooperation, both companies have developed a continuous scan-to-print solution in which a 3D scanner from Metis is combined with the RIP and colour-management software of Colorgate.

This enables all the production stages to be covered from the scan and design to print production. The concept, developed above all for decorative digital printing applications in the décor, ceramics, textiles, and wallpaper, was shown for the first time at the FESPA Global Print Expo held in Berlin from 15 to 18 May.
