G7® for Digital Dye Sub
G7® establishes the methodology for compliance with the ISO 10128 standard for gray balance and calibration in the Specifications for Web Offset Printing Commercial offset printers that comply with the G7 standard as implemented by IDEAlliance calibrate their 4 color offset presses so that the printed colors are consistent regardless of printer, substrate, screening technologies, and inks.
G7 calibration techniques can be used to assure gray balance and proper printer calibration. To this end, all major RIPs provide a means to introduce G7 Press Curves into the calibration process.
The Idealliance Expanded Color Gamut (ECG) Project is concerned with the development of methods and standards for 7 color offset, flexo, and litho printing. Some photo printers with an expanded color gamut have been introduced, for example the Epson SureColor P900. However, the expanded color gamut does not apply to dye sublimation and digital textile printing.
