PRINTING United Alliance Announces G7+ Expert Certification To Elevate Colour Standards In Print
Minneapolis, MN – April 2026 – PRINTING United Alliance has announced the upcoming G7+ Expert Certification training, scheduled to take place from the 23rd to the 25th of June 2026, at the SPSI facility in Minneapolis.
This live, instructor-led event is designed to empower print professionals with the advanced skills required to analyse complex colour challenges and achieve consistent, predictable results across all print and proofing applications.
By equipping the industry with these cutting-edge methodologies, the Alliance aims to drive forward sustainable and highly efficient production standards globally.
The intensive three-day programme will be led by Jim Raffel, a renowned G7+ Trainer and CEO of ColorCasters.
Participants will receive hands-on experience in a live production environment, allowing them to integrate the G7+ methodology directly into their daily workflows.
The curriculum encompasses comprehensive instruction on tonality, grey balance, and high-density smoothing, ensuring that attendees can seamlessly align their outputs with the rigorous specifications demanded by modern, eco-conscious supply chains.
In an era where reducing material waste and optimising resource efficiency is critical, mastering G7+ process control offers a distinct competitive advantage.
Accurate colour management minimises the need for repeated print runs, thereby reducing environmental impact and promoting ethical production practices.
Attendees will learn how to leverage these techniques to not only meet client expectations but also to champion sustainable manufacturing within the print sector.
Upon completion of the interactive workshop, participants will be prepared to undertake the web-based G7+ Expert Examination.
To support ongoing professional development, attendees will also gain access to a comprehensive library of production resources, including G7+ test forms and on-demand training recordings.
Spaces for this highly anticipated event are strictly limited to ensure personalised instruction, prompting industry leaders to secure their attendance promptly.
