Offers Printers the Ability to Conform to Both Industry Standards: ISO 12647 and G7®

Lyon, September 1, 2012: Alwan Color Expertise, a worldwide leader in color management and standardization software has achieved G7® System Certification by IDEAlliance. The new technology embedded in Alwan PRINT Standardizer will allow printers for the first time to print to ISO 12647 while calibrating their press to the G7® grayscale standard.

Since the launch of G7® grayscale calibration in 2005, printers have been divided into two categories: those mainly in Europe printing to ISO 12647 standard, and those mainly in North America printing to G7® grayscale. For the first time today, printers do not have to choose anymore between ISO 12647 and G7® conformance. Thanks to industry first Alwan DynamicPrinterCalibration™, printers can conform to ISO 12647 standards requirements while benefiting from adopting the G7® calibration methodology, recognizing neutral grays and shared appearance across multiple processes.
