Elanders Americas, a renowned print service provider located in Davenport, IA, has achieved G7^® Master Qualification, awarded by Idealliance^®, a not-for-profit industry group dedicated to guiding print production best practices, specifications, and standards, worldwide.  

Elanders Americas joins a select group of print service providers who have successfully completed training, examination, and qualification of their print production processes, validating their capabilities to the highest level of global industry standards and specifications. In addition, two production professionals have undertaken extensive training to earn G7 Professional status.

G7 is Idealliance’s industry-leading set of best practices for achieving gray balance and is the driving force for achieving visual similarity across all print processes. The application of this method enables printers to reproduce a similar visual appearance across all printing types and substrates.

Elanders Americas, and the Elanders Group, provide service in the areas of Print and Packaging, Supply Chain Management, and e-Commerce. This is the fifth consecutive year that Elanders Americas has achieved G7 Master Qualification. 

“Our commitment to the G7 method is just one example of how we’re maximizing our performance, to the benefit of our customers,” stated Jeff Greer, one of Elanders G7 Professionals. “Our clients can be assured that the products produced off of our G7-calibrated and color-managed equipment will share the same high quality appearance of those produced off of other G7-calibrated equipment at our global facilities around the world.”

"We applaud Elanders Americas for utilizing the G7 Master Program to assure consistency and quality in their proofing, brand color management, and print processes," commented Steve Bonoff for IDEAlliance. "G7 Master Qualification demonstrates a level of control and expertise that places Elanders at the top of their field. We applaud their leadership, commitment, and support of the G7 Master Qualification Program."
