Why G7? The Buyer's
Perspective
G7 was not developed as a specification for
printers. Rather it's development was spurred
by requirements of brand owners/ print buyers and
agencies. In this session learn why print
buyers are making G7 a requirement for all their
creatives, premedia and print providers. This
panel is designed to give printers a better
understanding about why buyers now require G7.
