Lesson plan
G7 Method
The G7 Method is a print calibration procedure used for visually accurate color reproduction by putting emphasis on matching grayscale colorimetric measurements between processes. By emphasizing the calibration of neutral grays similar to the sensitivities of the human visual system, the G7 Method creates a perceptual foundation that allows color consistency to emerge naturally across diverse print processes and materials. The method is used in many applications of printing such as offset lithography, flexography, and gravure since it uses a one-dimensional neutral print density curve (NPDC) to match neutral tonality between two G7 calibrated printing systems. The G7 method is not a completely accurate color management system nor is it officially standardized by the International Color Consortium (ICC).
