Concord Litho achieved G7 Master Printer status in November 2008, allowing our customers to benefit from the best color management available today. G7 Proof to Print is a new and improved calibration method managed by IDEAlliance that allows printers to reliably achieve a close visual match from proof to press, press to press, and facility to facility.

About 350 printing firms, prepress providers and advertising agencies in the country currently have earned this "seal of approval" -- and Concord Litho is one of only 30 firms who are G7 for both web and sheetfed offset printing. 

The G7 Master certification mark means the company "uses the most modern technology, techniques, proofing and press controls, and standards required to produce a close visual match from proof to print," according to IDEAlliance, which manages the specification and the qualification process.

It also is a symbol to print buyers and production managers that you can reliably work with several different G7 certified printers and achieve more consistent and predictable color across all your projects -- no matter where they are printed.

For more information about G7 and how it can improve your print buying life, talk with your Concord Litho sales rep to get a G7 InfoPack.
