Outlook Group Packaging & Printing Solutions Certified as G7 Master Printer

NEENAH, Wis. - May 28, 2013 - PRLog -- Outlook Group Packaging & Printing Solutions has been re-certified as a G7 Master Printer by IDEAlliance. This certification includes Outlook Group’s flexographic and lithographic printing presses.  This marks the first time Outlook Group Packaging & Printing Solutions has obtained G7 Master Printer Status on its flexographic presses. G7 Master status is granted to physical facilities qualified to use the G7 Proof-to-Print Process and uses the most modern technology, techniques, and press controls to produce a close visual match from proof to print. Outlook Group Packaging & Printing Solutions has been G7 Master Printer Certified since May of 2010 and re-certifies annually to ensure that its color match processes meet the stringent demands of the packaging industry.  
Outlook Group Packaging & Printing Solutions prides itself on its color management systems. Each step of the color reproduction process is measured, calibrated, and monitored to reproduce consistent color from art and proofing, to our in-house plate making, to ink formulation, all the way to our profiled presses. Outlook Group Packaging & Printing Solutions can calibrate our colors to a standard and we can reproduce that standard on any of our presses or proofs as recognized by the G7 Certification. This gives Outlook Group Packaging & Printing Solutions the ability to match colors across substrates – from folding cartons to flexible packaging and labels and includes products produced by both flexographic and lithographic offset technologies.    
“We believe that the color matching and press techniques used to obtain G7 Master Printer Certification are critical for the success of our customers. Many of Outlook Group Packaging & Printing Solutions’ customers take advantage of the synergies that come from our vertically integrated packaging facilities. The ability to match colors across a variety of packaging types means that Outlook Group Packaging & Printing Solutions can provide a high quality complete packaging solution.  We are proud and excited that our flexographic presses were included in this year’s certification as it builds on our color matching capabilities.” John Cappy, CEO of Outlook Group Packaging & Printing Solutions.
