Seneca Printing, a G7 Certified Master Printer and a GMI Certified Print Facility

 

 

What is G7?

 

G7 is an international standard (TR015) for calibrating printing presses and proofing systems

to a common visual neutral grayscale appearance.

 

The G7 methodology uses gray balance as the driving force for achieving visual

similarity across all print processes.

 

G7 is the benchmark method to obtain the goals and specifications specified in Guide to

Print Production 12th Ed, a comprehensive set of established best practices &

specifications for printing.

 

 

What does it prove to be a G7 Master Qualified Proof or Print Provider?

 

G7 Master Qualification is sought-after recognition of excellence in printing.

 

The G7 Master designation identifies print service providers, prepress providers, and creative agencies that excel in implementing the G7 Proof-to-Print Process, a calibration method that allows printers to achieve a visual simulation across multiple print platforms.

 

A G7® Master Qualified printer, through the implementation of proofing and printing calibration to G7 and use of standardization, can simulate color locally as well as globally, across all types of print systems and devices.

 

G7 Master Qualified companies join an elite group of proof and print service providers who have successfully proven capable of providing the highest quality color printing.

 

Customers of G7® Master Qualified Printers benefit from the most modern technology, techniques and process controls available today in the graphic arts industry.

 

Achieving color consistency when printing on multiple platforms, in various geographic regions, is a critical component in brand management.
