G7+™ Master Qualifications
The benefits of being a G7+ Master Facility are simple. When your printing is consistent, it helps maintain the integrity of your customers’ brand, increases customer satisfaction, and turns customers into repeat customers. Print buyers actively seek out companies like yours that are G7+ certified by PRINTING United Alliance. And costs will go down because a G7+ Master Facility has reduced production costs, including paper waste, ink consumption, make-ready, associated with getting up to color with implementation and production driven by G7+.
G7+ enhances the legacy G7 methodology, which now serves as the baseline for several widely adopted print and color global standards, to provide optimal color alignment across traditional commercial print, packaging, and new digital print technology and workflows for consistency across all print production processes. Since its introduction in 2005, G7 has revolutionized the ease, quality, and efficiency of most 4-color printing methods, including offset, flexo, toner, and gravure.
