PRINTING United Alliance has announced the release of G7+, the next evolution in color calibration. G7+ replaces legacy G7 as an improved calibration specification with new algorithms and logic while retaining an overall similar appearance. Training and certification will be available in-person during the COLOR Conference at the PRINTING United Technical Event Series March 12-14, 2024, in Dallas, TX.
“PRINTING United Alliance is excited to announce G7+ to continue our mission in supporting leading printers and print buyers around the world. G7 has raised the bar in the world of print and color output as colorimetry and visual output became the norm rather than simply relying on density for matching color,” said executive director of Idealliance Jordan Gorski. “G7 now integrates all modern print technology to be a standard that is applicable to all print, on all media, paper, board, film, signage, or textile, for any output condition that will truly provide print buyers and printers the ability to match color on packaging, publications, signage and wide format graphics, while maintaining alignment to the standards in place among existing workflows.”
G7+ Calibration is a 19-year run and over three years of R&D by PRINTING United Alliance. It is designed to work equally with all printing technologies and offer increased value and effectiveness for a wider range of markets and applications.
G7+ preserves existing G7 workflows and maintains its features, benefits, and general appearance.
“Much like the Alliance has grown and evolved to provide the industry with a community to gather and collaborate, the G7+ specification now serves all members of our industry for unified optimal color output regardless of where and how you print,” Gorski added.
G7+ has improved gray balance and tonality across a wider range of print systems, including web-offset, textile, inkjet, and newsprint. It also achieves smooth, highly saturated color in high-density inkjet printing. G7+ also attains accurate ICC profiles and lifelike images on calibrated systems without color management.
Current G7-certified experts and professionals can attend a pre-conference session at the PRINTING United Technical Event Series. Register for the session here.
