SGIA Helps Imagers Improve Print Accuracy with G7

Wednesday 23. June 2010 - Neutral gray method simplifies color consistency across printing platforms

SGIA now offers G7 resources to help the specialty imaging community maximize print accuracy and meet customers’ increasing color matching demands. This innovative methodology, developed by IDEAlliance, enables different proofers, screen presses and digital printers to produce a very similar appearance regardless of substrate, line count, ink type or printing condition.

“G7 eliminates the guessing of what color should be adjusted during the setup procedure.” said Ralph Rhein, Vice President of Operations, Duracolor. “In my 30 years of printing experience, it was the best 4-color process printing method I have ever used.”

SGIA, together with IDEAlliance, provides members with a complete explanation of the methodology, how it works and what steps are required to become G7 certified. Additional resources include archived SGIA Journal and News articles discussing G7 in the printing industry, and an exclusive Webinar, “G7 Neutral Gray Color Control for Screen and Digital Printers,” presented by Mike Ruff, Chief Technology Officer, Nazdar Consulting Services.

Screen and digital printers who are interested in learning more about G7 also can take advantage of upcoming training and educational sessions:
