About MasterPrinters™

The IDEAlliance MasterPrinter™ qualification program will identify those printing companies who have been trained to print to ISO standards using the new G7™ Methodology and can produce a press sheet to GRACoL or SWOP aims within acceptable tolerances.  The qualification mark means that the printer uses the most modern technology, techniques and process controls and standards required to produce high-quality commercial printing.

Because MasterPrinters print to standards everyday, and because they employ the G7 Proof-to-Print Process, Print Buyers can rely on Master Printers to have faster make-readies, closer proof-to-print matches and high print quality.  IDEAlliance MasterPrinters bear the IDEAlliance seal of approval and hence attaining MasterPrinter status is a competitive goal for printers, worldwide.

The IDEAlliance MasterPrinter program relies on highly trained IDEAlliance GRACoL Expert consultants to train printers and those making high-quality proofs to calibrate their  the systems and to use the G7 process on an ongoing basis.  Once qualified, MasterPrinters must be re-verified on a yearly basis to assure that they maintain calibration and processes.

IDEAlliance qualifies MasterPrinters in the US and across the globe.
