ColorGATE PRO 25 appears to refer to Version 25 of ColorGATE’s professional-grade print production software suite, primarily the Productionserver PRO edition (often stylized as “PRO” in product lines). Released in May 2025, this update focuses on enhancing automation, color management, and workflow efficiency for digital inkjet printing across industries like sign & display, textiles, ceramics, packaging, and décor. Built on the Adobe PDF Print Engine 6.4, it processes complex PDF files with high accuracy while supporting scalability for single devices or multi-vendor setups. The software emphasizes resource savings, such as up to 30% ink reduction via Ink Saver technology, and eco-friendly processes.
Key Features and Updates in Version 25
Version 25 introduces streamlined product families, advanced PDF handling, and expanded hardware compatibility. Here’s a breakdown of major enhancements:
