MISSISSAUGA—Ernest Green & Son, an independent distributor of graphic arts products and services in Canada, has entered into a partnership with GMG, a developer and supplier of high-end colour management software. The agreement will allow Ernest Green to represent the entire GMG line in Canada.  


Mississauga-based Ernest Green & Son specialize in various areas of print including graphic arts, flexography, offset printing, CTP, digital presses and wide-format products. The company’s primary focus for Germany-based GMG products will be with flexography/packaging and commercial printing with a growing focus on large format, where there is opportunity to educate printers on the value of GMG colour management products. It includes products such as GMG Color Proof, GMG FlexoProof, GMG OpenColor, and GMG ColorServer, among many others.

"Certainly, in our opinion GMG is the best of the best in color management, rendering and productivity. Combined with our reach, selling equipment and applications throughout Canada and our high level of technical support, this partnership made a lot of sense," Roger Parsons, regional manager, Eastern Canada, at Ernest Green & Son Ltd. said. "GMG has a very broad product line that appeals to different market segments—including offset, litho, flexo and wide format—with a reputation for precision color rendering and consistency. As a distributor, it is always helpful when one vendor can serve many market segments."
