Version 25: Versatility. Elevated.

Core Productionserver: At the Core of Printing

To streamline and better address varying customer needs, ColorGATE is introducing the Core Productionserver product family, available from Version 25 onward.

  • Core Productionserver S: A competitively priced entry-level solution, ideal for small businesses and users operating a single entry-level printer.
  • Core Productionserver M: A mid-tier option for print shops with growing workflow demands, offering access to larger format and flatbed printers along with essential modules for color control.
