What is G7?

The G7 seal is a mark of industry-leading color quality and consistency.

PsPrint wants to offer our customers the best, most reliable printing, so we have taken the next step in color standards. We have completed the most rigorous qualification process: G7, which ensures that your design will look in print the way you designed it on screen. G7-qualified companies use the latest technology and uphold the highest standards to produce high-quality printing.

PsPrint is now a G7 Qualified Master Printer, offering the best color quality and printing consistency in the industry. All of our presses and digital print equipment are calibrated to G7 standards, ensuring the highest color accuracy every time no matter where the job is printed - from proof to press, one press to another press, and even facility to facility. Plus, we have certified G7 experts on staff to make sure all of our printing meets these high standards.

Whether you print 25 printed pieces or 2,500, PsPrint’s G7 master printer qualification promises predictable printing that you are sure to love.

Q: Why do printers pursue a G7® Master Printer Qualification?

A: One of the challenges for printers today is the consistency between print devices, offset vs. digital and inkjet. To help manage the consistency of long-run (offset), short-run (digital) and large format ink jet technology, the G7® process is designed to minimize that variance.

Q: How does a printer become qualified?

A: Achieving the G7® Master Printer Qualification means that four Deluxe facilities have successfully completed rigorous training, testing and auditing, and we are committed to annual requalification to assure strict adherence to the process and to maintain our G7® Master Printer status.
