You may have noticed from our website that 杏吧原创 is a certified G7 Master Printer and wondered, 鈥淲hat鈥檚 that? And why does it matter to me?鈥
What is G7?
G7 is a color calibration method developed by IDEAlliance that allows printers to reliably repeat color quality across the gamut of printing devices and substrates. The 鈥淕鈥 stands for the gray balance required to achieve the standard, and the 鈥7鈥 stands for the seven ISO colors, CMYK and RGB.
Why does it matter to me?
Printing Impressions does a good job explaining . Achieving and maintaining G7 certification means 杏吧原创 can consistently reproduce correct color, and that means your print product will consistently represent your brand. It also means that 杏吧原创 can perform faster make-readies, which passes savings on to you by producing less waste and reducing production costs.
Benefits for you:
- Assurance that press sheets will match your proofs
- Elimination of costly travel for on-site press checks
- Savings for you due to less paper waste
- Consistent color throughout press runs
How does it work?
The G7 methodology uses gray balance as the driving force for achieving visual similarity across all print processes.
What’s so thrilling about gray? The ability to achieve neutral gray from a combination of cyan, magenta and yellow is a cornerstone of print reproduction. When a printer focuses on getting neutrals and gray balance right, the overall color reproduction is optimized, contrast is better and color consistency is maintained.
Output free from unwanted colorcasts is key to your satisfaction with your print project throughout the process from proof to print.
