Seiko Epson Corporation and GMG have launched the new GMG ColorProof 4.5,
which extends color gamut, accuracy and consistency by taking advantage of
Epson's newly developed UltraChrome K3 ink with Vivid Magenta technology.

The new GMG ColorProof 4.5 includes first time calibrated spot colors in GMG
ColorProof, whereby users can save a spot color as a calibrated set, which can
be reproduced. It also includes sharpening for proofing profiles, with a number
of options; missing dot simulation of gravure printing processes where press
profile parameters of frequency, intensity (size), and start and end of dot
percent can be edited.

There is also support for new printers, Vivid Magenta ink Epson printers (SP
4880-7880-9880), updated four-color Epson printers with matte black
(4450-7450-9450), and the new 64" Epson large format printer (SP 11880) and
support of new HKS and Pantone Goe spot color sets with new spot color databases
for Epson printers.

The GMG ColorProof 4.5 supports the Epson Stylus Pro 4880, 7880, 9880, and
11880 printers, which use the new Epson UltraChrome K3 ink with Vivid Magenta
technology.

"This partnership between Epson and GMG has allowed us to combine our
newly developed Epson Stylus Pro printers with GMG ColorProof software in order
to address the diversifying needs of proofing users in the best possible
way," comments Hiroshi Sotokawa, GM Epson's Inkjet Printer & Photo
Product Design Department. "I'm confident that this new combination of
technologies will set a new standard for proofing."

"GMG is proud about the productive and successful relationship with
Epson to the benefit of the graphic arts industry," commented Jawdatt
Mawassii, VP Strategy and Business Development of GMG. " The new printer
with the new Vivid Magenta technology will be supported in our new
version."
