G7™ is named for its gray scale calibration technique and the 7 ISO ink colors it requires. It specifies a step-by-step method for calibrating proofing systems and presses to a colorimetrically-gray tone curve. G7 specifies midtone gray balance, image weight and image contrast to produce a common appearance on different materials and different print technology.

G7 is built into SWOP™ and GRACoL™ print specifications and was developed in conjunction with print buyers to create greater uniformity of color in the print-for-pay world. Color is important and G7 ensures that color is measured and calibrated to produce consistent results.

G7, SWOP, and GRACoL are trademarks of IDEAlliance.
