The first annual G7/G7+ Exchange brought together color management professionals the day before PRINTING United Expo to share expertise around achieving consistent color across print technologies. The event left attendees with three key takeaways. First, the importance of standardization—using a unified color language across devices, inks, and substrates is essential for producing predictable, repeatable results. The second takeaway centered on the “human factor,” acknowledging that even with robust standards in place, consistent color ultimately depends on people’s training, decisions, and process discipline. Third, the need for broad education, noting that printers, designers, and print buyers all play a role in understanding how technology, substrates, and workflows influence color expectations.
