Global Graphics’ technology has been at the heart of industry-leading printing solutions for almost twenty years.
The Company’s broad printing software portfolio comprises driver-based, embedded and served-based technology that allows OEMs to deploy native Page Description Language (PDL) solutions across all their devices, including legacy devices and workflows, using a common architecture. RIPs, color management software and workflow components are available to drive high-end graphic arts and pre-press systems, digital presses, convenience digital printers and MFPs, networked digital printer/copiers and desktop devices.
Global Graphics’ highly configurable and extensible electronic document libraries provide powerful PDL conversion and manipulation for application developers both in the print and corporate markets.
By partnering with Global Graphics, OEMs can use one core architecture across their entire product range.
Global Graphics’ technology is renowned for its high performance and reliability. It is easily customizable so that OEMs can create competitive differentiation and build a wide variety of products. Our solutions lay at the heart of industry-leading products marketed under internationally recognized brand names.
A noted expert in interpreting, rendering and converting PDLs, Global Graphics’ leading edge expertise and engineering capability were factors in the Company being chosen by Microsoft in 2003 to provide consultation services on the XPS specification as well as develop a prototype and a print reference XPS RIP for Microsoft.
Our patent portfolio is extensive. Sustained investments in research and development fuel our ability to develop solutions that help our customers to stand out and differentiate their products in highly competitive markets. More than a third of our revenue is re-invested in R & D. Global Graphics is an active supporter of industry standards and works with a wide range of industry bodies and consultative groups, in many cases chairing committees undertaking pioneering work in standards development and color science.
We encourage our personnel to think freely in order to engineer solutions that meet market demands of today, and market expectations for tomorrow. This allows us be in the forefront of emerging standards as well as new technology. As a result, we enable our customers to launch their own value-added products and services with the minimal time to market. Our consulting group +TS works on- or off-site with customers on custom projects.
