ColorGATE Version 24, includes Productionserver, Filmgate, and Proofgate, focusing on automation, precision, output, and workflow efficiency for digital printing. Key features include:
Automation Productionserver: A new version designed for automated workflows, centralized through a RIP instance and ColorGATE’s REST API, reducing manual tasks.
Precision Simplified: Advanced Media Preview enhances visualization of job elements like cut marks, QR codes, and multi-page jobs before printing, improving error detection.
Output Simplified: Expanded Multilayer Printing supports different job files for top and bottom layers, ideal for “Day & Night” backlit and double-sided block-out prints (supported by specific printers like HP Latex Series for 5-layer printing).
Workflow Enhancements: Integrates Adobe PDF Print Engine 6.3 for seamless design tool integration and includes Ink Saver technology for up to 30% ink reduction without compromising quality.
Version 24 supports over 2,000 devices, with regular driver updates. Users with a valid Value Pack can upgrade for free, and a Full Subscription model offers comprehensive software coverage. For multilayer printing, ensure your printer supports the feature, as compatibility varies (check ColorGATE’s supported devices list). Upgrading from Version 23 requires backing up system configurations to retain settings and profiles.
