A new route through digital proofing.
For proofing rooms and brand-colour teams.

数码打样的另一条路径。
为打样工作室与品牌色彩部门而做。

§ 01 FRONTIER WHERE THE USUAL ROUTE ENDS / 常规路径的边界在哪
EN

Proofing has served the industry well for three decades. It has also quietly drawn a line around what it can explain.

Beyond that line, a proof starts to guess — at multi-spot overprints, at non-paper substrates, at samples that match under one light and disagree under another. gcolour is built to work past that line.

数码打样已经可靠地服务了行业三十年,也悄悄地为自己画下了一条边界。

越过这条线,打样开始"猜" —— 猜多专色叠印、猜非纸基承印物、猜那些在一种光下吻合、换一种光就分歧的样张。gcolour 就是为这条线之外的工作而做。

  1. F01

    Multi-spot overprints

    When three, four, five spot inks stack, the standard engine can only approximate. The brand notices.

    多专色叠印

    三种、四种、五种专色叠印,传统引擎只能给出近似值。品牌会察觉。

  2. F02

    Non-paper substrates

    Flexible packaging, tinplate, PVC — the usual assumptions about paper break. A proof should break in the same way the substrate will.

    非纸基承印物

    软包装、印铁、PVC —— 关于"纸"的所有假设都不成立。打样要像真实承印物那样偏差,而不是像"纸"那样偏差。

  3. F03

    Metamerism, silently

    A proof that passes under D50 and fails under store light is not a proof. We treat illuminant mismatch as a first-class problem.

    同色异谱,悄悄地

    在 D50 下过关、在店铺灯下翻车的样,不配叫"样"。我们把光源差异当作第一优先的问题。

  4. F04

    Client chaos

    Each client, a different standard, a different press curve, a different tolerance. We keep them cleanly separated.

    客户的混乱

    每家客户一套标准、一条机台曲线、一个容差。我们把它们干净地分开管理。

§ 02 APPROACH HOW GCOLOUR THINKS / gcolour 的思路

A dual-track engine. Standards where standards are enough. Something deeper where they aren't.

双路线引擎。能用标准解决的,用标准;不够的,走更深的那一路。

A01

Dual-track engine

One track follows ISO 12647-7, FOGRA and GRACoL, exactly as asked. The other track engages when the first cannot answer — overprints, substrates, illuminants.

一条路线严格跟随 ISO 12647-7、FOGRA 与 GRACoL 标准 —— 要什么给什么。另一条路线在第一条路线答不上来时接手 —— 叠印、承印物、光源。

A02

Spot-ink, taken seriously

Pantone, brand colours, house spots. Measured, modelled, and predicted — including how they behave when stacked, screened, or laid on a non-white ground.

Pantone、品牌色、自家专色。被认真地测、建模、预测 —— 包括它们叠印、加网、或压在非白底上时会怎样。

A03

Substrate-aware

Tintplate, PET, OPP, silver foil, kraft. The substrate is not an afterthought — it is part of the model from the first measurement.

印铁、PET、OPP、银箔、牛皮纸。承印物不是最后才想起的事 —— 从第一次测量开始,它就是模型的一部分。

A04

Illuminant honesty

Every match is shown under every light that matters — D50, D65, A, store lighting. When they disagree, we say so, early.

每一次匹配都会在每一种重要光源下被展示 —— D50、D65、A、门店灯。它们一旦意见不合,我们会提早说出来。

A05

PrintCondition as first class

Printer × substrate × calibration × standard, bound as a named object. Switch clients with a dropdown, not a reconfiguration.

打印机 × 承印物 × 校准集 × 标准,绑定为一个命名对象。切换客户只用下拉菜单,不用重新配置整条管线。

A06

Verified, not promised

Every proof logs its own measurements back. Drift shows up on a chart, not in a phone call from the client.

每一次打样都会把自己的测量值记回。偏差出现在图表上,而不是客户来电里。

§ 04 EARLY ACCESS PILOT STUDIOS · INVITATION

A handful of pilot studios.
Then the rest.

We are looking for a small number of proofing studios and brand-colour teams to use gcolour on real jobs. Tell us your press, your substrates, your standards, and the cases where today's tools quietly let you down.

jcolour@qq.com

先几家试点工作室。
然后再是其他人。

我们在找少数几家打样工作室和品牌色彩团队,用 gcolour 处理真实订单。告诉我们你的机器、你的承印物、你的标准、以及那些当前工具悄悄"放你鸽子"的场景。
