GRACoL/G7

What a difference a little variance makes…consistency matters
SWP has the honor of holding a GRACoL Master Qualification. G7 calibrates proof-to-press and press-to-press across any printing method.
G7 benefits include:
- Faster make-ready
- Greater consistency
- Higher quality
- ISO standard press output
- Reduce costs
- Less waste
- Decrease turn-around times
- Avoid re-makes
- Acquire print predictability: know what you’ll get on press-before you get there
G7 stands for quality under contol, using a color spectraophotometer. In this case, a SWP pressman does not “eyeball” the color. Instead the pressman monitors the spectometer at 50-sheet intervals.
Color Spectophotometer benefits:
- Measure color bars on sheets
- Records in database
- Pressmen check against standards
- Maintains color balance throughout job
- Simplifies future reprints
- AAA-assured accuracy always
- SWP processes leverage technology
- Assure color and finish consistency
