My take is that designer and ad agencies don't understand the value for customers buying printing , To have color management that works.
That's why it not more wide spread across the printing industry. If customers were asking their printers, what they do for color management ,to make sure they were able to match the color when reprinting the job next time. They would learn the value it brings to them.
We must do a better job of promoting G7. The Printing industry of American should be talking about it as well. It not just about new equipment
that improves quality for customers. It is color management.

I know there has been a lot of discussion about making it more difficult to be a G7 Master Printer. We have made it better. We added the affidavit, the QR Code and the different qualification types. That helped but I would like to add the requirements of a G7 Master to list the print devices and be required to produce a qualified print on all devices that print 4-color process. This would ensure that just one substrate and one print is all they ever calibrate.

I hope that Idealliance is working to promote the practices of G7 In the printing industry. It seems that the level of participation has gone down.
People that buy printing should understand the value.
