United Graphics is one of the only 40” sheetfed printers in the Dallas / Fort Worth area (and one of only a handful in the entire country) with a G7™ Expert on staff.
Gracol's G7 Experts are industry trainers and consultants who have completed an IDEAlliance certification program and are identified to be an elite group of professionals certified in the new G7 press and proofer calibration process. G7 Experts are uniquely qualified to train printers, creatives and prepress houses in the G7 Method and are authorized to act as the certification agents for IDEAlliance Master Printers or Proof Professional Programs.
The G7 methodology is revolutionary because it is the first specification designed to reliably and efficiently match the visual appearance of multiple devices, by defining gray balance and neutral print density curves using spectrophotometry instead of the traditional method of measuring TVI and solid ink density for each color. GRACoL7 is the aim-point for sheetfed commercial printers.
