SESSION DESCRIPTION

Discover how G7+™—the next evolution of the industry-renowned G7® methodology—advances color calibration and consistency across traditional and emerging print platforms. This presentation will explore how G7+ delivers enhanced gray balance, improved tonality, and better ICC profiling for all types of print, including high-density inkjet, textiles, and absorbent substrates. Whether you're a brand, printer, creative, or OEM, G7+ sets a new benchmark in color control without disrupting legacy workflows.

What You Will Learn:

  • The key differences between G7 and G7+, and what makes G7+ technically superior.
  • How G7+ improves color consistency and appearance on challenging substrates like textiles and newsprint.
  • Why G7+ matters for inkjet, DTG, wide-format, and other non-traditional print technologies.
  • What brands and print buyers can expect from G7+ certified partners.
  • Certification pathways for G7+ Experts, Master Facilities, and OEM systems.
  • How to implement G7+ using updated calibration, verification, and profiling tools.
  • The impact of G7+ on global print standards (GRACoL, CGATS.21, ISO 15339) and how to stay compliant.
