G7

The matching of screen, offset, or inkjet prints to a proof has always presented a challenge to printers. The photographic proofing systems used in the past (Chromalin) offered a useful visual target, but made an outright match almost impossible, as the method of producing proofs uses technology with a color gamut that volume print technologies cannot match. More recently, inkjet proofing has become more common.

A current color process control method that affords a real benefit to printers is called G7. G7 is an Idealliance specification (target) that defines process controls for the neutrality and tonality of an image whether on a proof or from a press of any kind.

What is G7?

It is a method to establish consistent printing process controls providing a common target that graphic designers, prepress, print production and the print buyer can agree to understand and work together to achieve.
