G7, Flexography and the Production Environment Online Course
Your customers expect their print jobs to match.
Regardless of the printing method used.
Regardless of where their design appears.
G7 is a set of specifications designed to achieve visual similarity across all print processes, flexography included. Using G7, all printed conditions and processes are aimed at a common standard so that when files are created, your customer can be assured that the end result will match their expectations. Better yet, with G7 you’ll benefit from greater process control, reduced press setup time, reduced waste and faster makeready time.
The end result? High quality, repeatable results.
Designed for production and non-production personnel, G7, Flexography and the Production Environment provides the information necessary to enhance any flexographic workflow using the G7 methodology. G7, Flexography and the Production Environment is taught by FTA Hall of Fame Member Steve Smiley of SmileyColor & Associates LLC and Joe Tuccitto, FTA’s director of education. The course was developed as a partnership between Idealliance and FTA.
