For G7 Carton Converters, Color Managers & Press Leads
Trace a color-out-of-spec rejection to the press, the shift, and the substrate
A brand owner rejects a load at their dock. The delta E readings, the press log, the shift roster, and the board lot share no job number.
A data warehouse built specifically for G7 carton converters, colour managers, and press leads. Connect colour proofing, inline measurement, the press log, and the MIS. Live in about 48 hours.

Every system you run — and the answers you can't get today.
One shared key across every system. No exports, no VLOOKUP — the tools you already run, finally answering the questions that matter.
Good morning, Morgan.

Synopsis is a data warehouse for folding carton converters holding G7 colour for brand owners, live on your own systems in about 48 hours. GMG ColorProof targets, X-Rite ColorCert and Techkon ChromaQA readings, Heidelberg Prinect press logs, ePS Radius job records, and board mill certificates land in one warehouse keyed to the same job and board lot. A question like which press, shift, and board lot produced last quarter's colour rejections becomes a single query. Updated August 2026.
Popular pairings
The pairings that trace a rejection to its cause.
Colour is a hard pass-fail gate. Tracing a failure means the delta E reading, the press log, the shift roster, and the board lot have to share a job number.
GMG ColorProof + X-Rite ColorCert
Synopsis integrates GMG ColorProof targets with X-Rite ColorCert verification readings, so an out-of-tolerance delta E is anchored to the target it missed.
X-Rite ColorCert + Prinect
Synopsis connects X-Rite ColorCert measurements to the Heidelberg Prinect press log, so a rejection resolves to the press, the shift, and the run.
Prinect + ePS Radius
Synopsis joins Prinect press events to the ePS Radius job record, so a rejected load carries the customer, the order, and the cost it consumed.
Techkon ChromaQA + Board mill certs
Synopsis syncs Techkon ChromaQA press-side readings to the board mill lot certificate, so substrate variation is separable from press variation.
ePS Radius + Prinect
Synopsis integrates ePS Radius rework and reprint records with the original Prinect run, so the cost of a colour failure is a measured number.
Alwan + GMG
Synopsis joins a plant on Alwan to the same rejection analysis it runs for GMG, so the method does not depend on your proofing vendor.
Questions
Answers before you ask.
Can it trace a color rejection back to the press, the shift, and the board lot?
Press-side readings, the color target, the press log with the operator logged on at the console, the crew clocked on in UKG or ADP, and the mill lot on the board receipt in your print MIS land in the same warehouse, keyed to the job and the run. A rejected load resolves to a press, a shift, and a board lot in one query. Synopsis brings the records together for analysis; it doesn't replace your systems of record.
Can it show G7 conformance for a brand-owner color audit?
Your color targets, press-side readings, calibration history, and job records join on the job and the run, so a brand owner's color audit answers as a query instead of a binder hunt. Your quality team still owns the response; Synopsis holds the data trail behind it.
Do we have to buy new measuring hardware or change how the press crew works?
No. Synopsis reads the measurements your spectrophotometers and inline systems already produce. Press crews keep measuring the way they do now. If a device only writes a file to a folder, that file is a workable source.
Does Synopsis integrate GMG with Heidelberg Prinect?
Yes. GMG colour targets and proofs and Prinect press logs land in one warehouse keyed to the same job and run, so a colour rejection traces to the press, the shift, and the board lot in one query. The same holds for X-Rite, Techkon, Esko Color Engine, CGS ORIS, Alwan, AVT, and the rest of a carton plant's systems.
We run a system that isn't listed here. Can you connect it?
Usually, yes. The AI builds the connector from an export or an API, and a new system is typically flowing in days. If it can produce a file, it is a candidate.
How long until we can start asking questions?
Your first connected systems are answering questions in about 48 hours, and a full rollout lands in days, not a multi-quarter data project.
Do we need a data team or anyone who knows SQL?
No. We configure your warehouse with you and connect the systems you already run; your team just asks questions in plain English. Nobody has to write SQL or babysit pipelines unless they want to.
Does Synopsis replace the software we already use?
No. Your systems of record — ERP, CRM, accounting, and the rest — stay exactly where they are. Synopsis sits on top and joins them into one place you can query, so you report across everything instead of exporting from each tool.
Where does our data live, and is it secure?
Your data stays in your own warehouse — we don't keep a copy. Access is governed per user and every query is audit-logged. Synopsis is SOC 2 Type II, and you can review our live security posture in the Trust Center.
How is this different from a BI tool or a stack of dashboards?
BI tools chart data that something else already had to clean and join. Synopsis does that upstream work — connecting your systems, resolving entities, and enforcing your metric definitions — then answers in plain English, builds the dashboards, and traces every number back to its source.
