Nazdar's shop-wide G7 Idealliance qualification has allowed US-based KDM POP Solutions to become certified without dedicated press runs and without pausing planned production.
G7 is a proof-to-print process control method that allows printers to match the visual appearance of the output from multiple printing devices, regardless of the type of ink or printing method. KDM POP Solutions in Cincinnati, has become the first to complete a shop-wide G7 qualification with no dedicated press runs and without pausing planned production work using the solution.
The G7 process was completed using only live production work in all print processes for grand-format inkjet printing, offset litho and screenprinting.
Tim Quinn, a Nazdar consultant and G7 expert, together with Doug Pulvere, quality control manager of KDM POP Solutions oversaw the qualification process. Measurements were taken using the new X-Rite Color i1Pro3 profiling and calibration solution, and then analysed using the ChromaChecker colour verification tool.
