Achieving spot color replacement and extended color gamut using fixed inks

Before delving into the subject, let's first understand the concept of multicolor ink groups. Multicolor ink groups refer to ink combinations used in printing that exceed the traditional four-color process (Cyan C, Magenta M, Yellow Y, Black K). It typically involves adding one or more specific color inks, such as Green G, Orange O, or Violet V, to the standard CMYK four-color inks. This extended gamut printing method expands the printing color gamut, resulting in richer and more accurate color reproduction, better matching of spot colors, and ultimately improving the color quality and visual effect of printed materials.

How does the G7 calibration method help in printing neutral gray

With the widespread application of standardized printing, integrating G7® into the global standard for neutral gray printing/printing methods ensures visual consistency regardless of CMYK printing/printing output. This includes standards such as ISO 19303-1 and 19303-2 for color workflow consistency, ISO 10128 for calibration, and ISO 15339-2 for seven common reference printing conditions, and further integration into other ISO standards. This is because the G7 near-neutral gray output calibration method continues to be used by printers in more than 40 countries worldwide.
