Idealliance releases expanded schedule of global online G7 Expert Training Sessions

These multi-day, live training events equip participants with the knowledge, experience, and ability to implement and manage G7, colour management, and process control across all four-colour (CMYK) print technology.

With nine new opportunities to choose from, spanning multiple time zones and being offered in English, Spanish, and Mandarin/Cantonese, these trainings benefit global audiences. Course registration is available online and with discounts for current Idealliance members: www.idealliance.org/g7training.

“Brands and print buyers demand consistency and colour quality, regardless of where in the world or how their products are printed,” said Jordan Gorski, Executive Director, Idealliance. “The continued demand for training around the world is helping to drive the global growth of the G7 methodology—which is the leading colour initiative in print consistency and near neutral appearance across all print applications.

“Participants in this training, with the extensive package of learning and continued support available for G7 Experts and Professionals, are proven industry leaders able to align their supply chain, and optimise graphic, print, and packaging workflows to drive visual consistency with G7 and the most effective approaches for colour management and process control. We encourage any companies involved in colour quality and management to sign up for a course since there is a training for everyone.”

G7 Expert training features leading print technology, workflows, and solutions, to give participants the experience and ability to implement and replicate the processes in their own facilities, using their own technology—allowing them to meet the needs of leading global brands and print buyers who specify G7 as part of their supply chain. Each training is led by a certified Idealliance G7 Expert Trainer.

Several upcoming events are hosted with OEM partners, such as Fujifilm Graphic Systems Division, Siegwerk, and Konica Minolta Business Solutions.

G7 Expert online training sessions will be held in June, July, August, and September and in person at PRINTING United in Orlando, Florida in October.
