G7™ is a proof-to-print process control method that allows you to reliably and efficiently match the visual appearance of multiple devices, ensuring that your process colors are neutral and balanced while also improving gray balance, color stability and color matching. G7™ can be applied to any type of CMYK printing process, including Inkjet, Offset Sheetfed, Offset Web, and Flexo print. IDEAlliance has created the G7™ Master Printer Program to help you incorporate this method into your workflow, and the G7™ Certified Experts at X-Rite Color Services can help you achieve G7™ Qualification.

X-Rite Color Experts are company employees from our Technical Applications Team or Color Services organization with G7 certification. All of our resources are very knowledgeable about our products, printing workflows, process control standards and typically come from the industries X-Rite serves.

Anyone who wants to stay competitive in the market by ensuring consistency and accuracy will benefit from G7™ Training and Qualification.

Press Operators should attend to learn how to use instruments and new target values to maintain the process on the press.
Prepress Operators will learn how to build correction curves for the plate setter and calibrate and build ICC profiles for the proofing systems

The G7™ Master Printer Program teaches you how to use and apply process control procedures throughout your entire process. The benefits include:

The ability to print and achieve the same color, over and over, from press to press
Assurance that you are printing to industry standards, such as GRACoL or SWOP
Continued makeready savings
The ability to notice little things you would never notice in daily production, such as a drift in your press or proofer or changes in dot gain, ink color or trap, so you can correct them immediately .
An edge in the marketplace. Print Buyers who are seeking consistency are looking for G7™ Master Printers to ensure their color work will print consistently.

G7™ Qualification from X-Rite is presented by a G7™ Certified Expert. Training typically takes three days, and is fully customizable to your scenario and workflow.

You and your team will learn the G7™ method, such as how to:
- Build upon foundations in densitrometric press measurement of solid ink densities (SID), and tone-value-increase (TVI/dot-gain)
- Use color measurement to achieve ideal gray balance on press
- Incorporate this new approach to build press calibration curves
Prior to the training, we will help you prepare for a G7™ workflow by:
- Working with you to audit your press conditions, color measurement equipment and process control procedures.
- Advising you on changes that will be required to prepare for the training to ensure you have the right conditions and the proper software and instruments in place
During the on-site training:
- An X-Rite G7™ Certified Expert will train your team how to achieve and maintain print standards, such as GRACoL or SWOP, on your presses.
- We will work with you to calibrate and verify your press(es) using the G7™ method.
- We’ll teach you how to create calibration curves for up to 3-presses or papers, and set up your workflow with the new curves.
- We will show you how to calibrate and profile your proofing system to conform to the same print conditions that you are using for your press so that the proof is a valid and achievable target for your pressmen.
We will even assist in submitting your application and results to IDEAlliance to request your G7™ Master Printer Qualification.
