SGIA Backs G7 As Preferred Color-Control Method for Printing

February 23, 2010

SGIA, Fairfax, Va., recently announced it is backing the G7 calibration method that enables screen printers and wide-format inkjet printers to produce a similar visual appearance across multiple printing technologies and substrates.

G7, a method of attaining a visual match between different imaging systems using one-dimensional curves for calibrating any CMYK imaging device, is trademarked by IDEAlliance. In 2008, SGIA and IDEAlliance agreed to work together to enhance standardization and best practices in color management and workflow.

"This is an important step for SGIA," says Michael Robertson, president and CEO, SGIA. "We are helping members employ calibration methods for screen printing and digital printing devices to meet the IS0 12647-2 printing standard."
