DANVERS, MA, UNITED STATES, August 6, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- TECHKON USA has released the latest version of its award-winning* color quality control software suite ChromaQA 6.5. This latest version, available immediately, adds several major new features to the comprehensive color QC package, including further improvements to the award-winning SmartINK AI-powered ink toning engine, added compatibility with GMG OpenColor proofing and profiling software, and the ability to export TVI correction curves after taking a color measurement.
Aside from numerous small improvements and several bug fixes, the ChromaQA 6.5 release includes these major new features:
Anilox Compensation in SmartINK
Significant time savings are now possible when setting up and using the SmartInk AI-powered ink toning engine. Instead of having to generate a colorant set for each combination of ink set, substrate type, and anilox roll, a single colorant set can now be used across multiple anilox rolls. This significantly reduces the time to produce and measure ink drawdowns and the risk of errors during set up, and -during production - simplifies the selection of the correct colorant set from a much shorter list.
Importing Colors from GMG OpenColor
ChromaQA can now import colors directly from GMG OpenColor projects via a server connection. This seamless integration significantly reduces the time it takes to create color books and libraries and setting up new job templates in ChromaQA.
Exporting TVI Correction Curves
It is now possible to export TVI correction curves for platesetters based on measurements from a current job - directly out of ChromaQA. The following formats are supported: ISO, Esko, Kodak, Agfa, and HP Indigo.
* ChromaQA has won the 2024 FTA Technical Innovation Award for its AI-powered SmartINK ink toning engine.
