ColorGATE Photo and FineArt – flexible and sophisticated

ColorGATE is able to reproduce images from any system environment (Mac,
Windows, Linux, Unix). To do so, ColorGATE creates a virtual printer (Port­Monitor), which automatically processes incoming jobs. The dynamic
creation of PPDs makes it possible to include all the print-specific param­eters plus MIM combination with the printing file, thus reducing the number
of hotfolders needed to a minimum.
