Global Graphics Software

Global Graphics’ printing software was first used in a commercial production system in 1988. Today our RIP and electronic document platforms are the technology behind the world’s biggest brands.

Global Graphics Software licenses its technology to Original Equipment Manufacturers, System Integrators and Independent Software Vendors. Our customers choose us for the technical superiority of our software, our flexible and open commercial model, our partnership approach to development and the way we closely integrate our support teams with theirs.
