Join SG360 and other globally recognized leaders in print production by becoming a G7 Master printer.
Two ways to become a G7 Master printer:
An Idealliance certified G7 Expert is required to qualify print facilities for the first time. A G7 Expert must be onsite to conduct and review calibration data, then submits an online application to Idealliance for 3rd party verification. Final G7 Master Qualification is granted by Idealliance.
Option 1: Send an employee to a G7 Expert/Professional Training program to then qualify your proofing/printing system. For upcoming training events, go to www.idealliance.org for G7 training
Option 2: Hire a G7 Expert consultant to qualify your proofing/printing system. Access the directory of G7 Experts.
