Colorgate Productionserver 10 now fully compliant with Ghent PDF Output Suite 5

Colorgate’s Productionserver 10 is now fully compliant with the Ghent PDF Output Suite 5 the Ghent Workgroup has announced, after perfectly processing all 48 test patches, a critical test for determining quality printing of PDF documents.

In 2018, Ghent Workgroup member Ricoh acquired Colorgate Digital Output Solutions. Thomas Kirschner, CEO of Colorgate, said: “Colorgate’s approach to optimum PDF performance is to be as easy as possible for the user. The full Ghent PDF Output Suite v5 test form is interpreted and output flawlessly, and with our implementation of the Adobe PDF Print Engine, Colorgate users can be confident of accurately printed elements in their print-ready PDF/X-4 documents.” Colorgate Productionserver utilises the latest version of the Adobe PDF Print Engine (APPE) to process PDF files. The Adobe PDF Print Engine renders content, which matches the display in Adobe Acrobat and other Adobe Creative Suite applications. Using the same core Adobe PDF technology at every stage of the print workflow ensures predictability and eliminates unexpected results.
