“Participants in this training, with the extensive package of learning and continued support available for G7 Experts & Professionals, are proven industry leaders able to align their supply chain, and optimize 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 print technology, workflows and solutions, to give participants the ability to implement and replicate the processes in their own facilities, using their own technology, allowing them to meet the needs of 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.
