We're dedicated to COLOR!
Consistent Color Presto Print is re-affirming our commitment to color and we're earning our metaphorical stripes. This week, Presto Print has a G7 specialist working with all of our presses. We're dedicated to making sure your color is vibrant, consistent & beautiful.
Some printing companies have a G7 Master Certification thru IDEAlliance. What this means: "G7 is a method for matching colors across multiple printing devices, such as printing presses and proofing systems. It can be applied to any printer that has a calibration process (usually involving adjusting color "curves" in a RIP) that allows control over CMYK inks. These would include web presses, sheet-fed presses, proofing systems, inkjet printers being driven by RIPs. The goal of G7 is to provide visually consistent, repeatable color between different devices (like proofers and printers) as well as different presses, and even different facilities. The emphasis in this specification is on gray balance. Since human vision sees differences in gray more readily than more saturated colors, this specification is more likely to result in successful visual "matching" than merely matching solid ink densities which is typically done for more traditional processes." "Initially G7 was developed by the IDEAlliance GRACoL Working Group. But as adoption of G7 grew, it became clear that the application of this specification that enables printers to reproduce a similar visual appearance across printing types and substrates should be addressed by a group with reach beyond the focus on sheetfed offset printing that is unique to the GRACoL working group. Today, through the PPC Working Group, experts from across the spectrum of printing disciplines contribute to this important IDEAlliance Specification." Why this is good news for your next printing project: In other words, Presto Print will be able to match your files color more closely, whether it be on one of our Offset Presses or one of our Digital copiers. sources: http://www.colorwiki.com/wiki/G7 http://www.idealliance.org/ http://www.idealliance.org/specifications/g7
