Global Graphics Software has become the latest organisation to join the Ghent Workgroup, an international organisation made up of graphic arts users, associations and developers building best practices for publishing and packaging workflows.
The group aims to bring the international graphic arts community’s best minds together to develop best practices for the benefit of the print and publishing industry worldwide.
Global Graphics Software is a developer of software platforms for high-speed digital printing, particularly Harlequin RIP and the recently launched Direct. Its technologies are ‘designed to meet the most demanding printing applications from general commercial printing to labels and packaging and industrial inkjet applications such as textiles, ceramics and décor.’
David Zwang, chair of Ghent Workgroup, said, ‘We welcome the membership of Global Graphics to the GWG. As one of the largest developers of printing software platforms, they are at the leading edge of the transition to digital print across many applications. We look forward to their participation in the continued development of GWG efforts to help bring coordination and best practices to help drive the industry transition and growth.’
Justin Bailey, managing director Global Graphics Software, added, ‘We are excited to join the Ghent Workgroup as we have always prided ourselves on the rendering accuracy of our technology. One of the reasons prospects choose to work with Global Graphics is the high quality and compliancy of our technology with industry standards. To be able to say that we are compliant with the Ghent PDF Output Suite and to have a more formal association with them, makes perfect sense for us.’
