Introducing ColorGATE Productionserver v26

ColorGATE Productionserver v26 is the latest version of the leading software in RIP (Raster Image Processor), color management, and digital print automation, developed by the German company ColorGATE Digital Output Solutions. This version was officially released on July 1, 2026, designed with a focus on increasing productivity and reducing operator intervention in industrial and large-format printing environments.

According to the official announcement, customers who had an active Value Pack package by June 10, 2026 are eligible for a free upgrade to version 26.

New Features in Version 26

Version 26 has been released with innovative features, the most important of which include:

Automatic Processing of Multi-Page PDF Files

• Automatic Distribution Across Multiple RIP Processes: The software automatically divides large multi-page PDF files across multiple parallel RIP processes. Previously, operators had to manually split large files to reduce processing time. This automation significantly reduces RIP time and minimizes manual job preparation.
• Odd and Even Page Processing: A new option for processing odd and even pages in multi-page PDF files has been added. This feature is available both in individual job settings and in Hotfolders, enabling more efficient automated workflows for duplex production and other multi-stage printing applications.

Linearization Assistant Plus

• Printhead Wear Compensation: This new module, offered for Industrial Productionserver, combines Base Linearization capabilities with ColorGATE’s established linearization and profiling technologies. This solution allows operators to compensate for gradual printhead wear and other production-related deviations with a single measurement.
• Color Consistency Restoration Without New Profiles: This module restores color consistency without the need to create new printer profiles, minimizing downtime and helping maintain consistent production quality, especially in industrial and decorative printing environments.

New Industrial Productionserver Essential Portfolio

• Four Specialized Editions: Version 26 introduces the new Industrial Productionserver Essential portfolio, which includes four editions: Ceramic PS Essential, Décor PS Essential, Packaging PS Essential, and Textile PS Essential. Each edition provides comprehensive functionality for its respective market and makes the portfolio easier to understand, deploy, and maintain.

Technical Updates

• Adobe PDF Print Engine 7.1: Version 26 updates the Adobe PDF Print Engine to version 7.1. This update improves compatibility with the latest PDF standards and Adobe Creative Cloud applications.
• New Printer Drivers: Hardware support has been expanded with new drivers for printers from leading manufacturers.

Software Licensing System

According to available information, ColorGATE has replaced the hardware dongle with a Software License (Soft-Key) system starting from version 20. The Soft-Key license is tied to the hardware ID of your computer, and if the hardware ID changes, the license locks and the software will no longer run.
