Siegwerk, Idealliance Partner To Offer G7 Training Siegwerk recently entered into a partnership with Idealliance, an industry association providing global standardization, training, and certification programs for the printing and packaging supply chain. Within this collaboration the two partners will co-host ‘G7 Expert Live Online Training & Certification’ courses enabling Siegwerk to directly train its customers in Idealliance’s universal calibration methodology for achieving a visual similarity across all print processes. “Visual color consistency across all marketing media of a brand — whether online or print — is key for a suc- cessful brand recognition,” explained Kiran Deshpande, Global Senior Expert Color Management at Siegwerk. The G7 methodology is Idealliance’s global set of specifications for CMYK printing process for ensuring a common visual appearance in all printed elements across multiple devices and facilities. Thereby, G7 is not a color management system, it rather is a universal calibration methodology that can be used to adjust any press or printing system to a common neutral appear- ance,regardless of inks,substrate,or printing technology.
