Colson Printing Company has gained GRACoL certification. To gain this approval, our presses and systems were rigorously inspected using G7 methodology which enables industry-standard color management and ensures shared appearance between proofs, and press prints.

This process uses a sophisticated color measurement device that verifies curves and deltaE numbers and make sure that they are hitting inside of acceptable GRACoL tolerance, thus closing the loop of factors that determine visual appearance.

So no matter which press runs your piece, if you’ve approved a proof, you can rest assured that you will be equally happy with the final printed product no matter which machine produces it.

What is GRACoL?
GRACoL helps print buyers, designers, and specifiers work more effectively with print suppliers. It has become the standard reference and educational medium on the modern lithographic process. It is a tool-kit of standards, tips, and answers to common problems. GRACoL helps promote better communication between print buyers and print suppliers and helps avoid disappointment in expectations.
G7 is advanced and maintained by the IDEAlliance Print Properties and Colorimetrics Working Group.

What does “G7” mean?
The name G7 was derived from “G” for gray balance and the 7 ISO colors, CMYK/RGB.
