G7 can produce visually similar results across different print processes. Printers can offer consistent results to buyers and brands across different media. Prior to G7 this was difficult to achieve and required many different proofs and sets of color corrections.

• Background on G7
• Role of paper and machine preparation
• Steps to perform G7 calibration
• Proof to press match and production checking
