Next Idealliance G7® Colour course will be online in February ‘22

G7 colour certification live courses are returning in 2022, conducted by David Crowther of Colour Graphic Services and the Idealliance. A refreshed and updated programme will provide certified training as G7 Expert or G7 Professional, reflecting all the latest developments in cutting-edge print technologies and colour management. Idealliance G7 certification is now a recognised qualification across multiple print disciplines – offset, digital, wide format, flexo and hybrid.


The dates for the next live Zoom online G7 course is 21st to 25th February 2022. As always, places are kept limited over the five days so as to enable quality, personal if needed attention.


G7 Live Online Training is hosted by Idealliance, featuring instructor led hands-on training. G7 Expert Trainer David Crowther will lead this multi-day training focusing on G7 based print and packaging applications, and G7 integration, maintenance, and process control across all print and proofing applications through cutting edge, online learning. Attendees will receive extensive practical hands-on demonstration, discussion, and collaboration to earn certification as G7 Experts.


The online training is offered over five consecutive half-days, 10:00am to 2:00pm AEST, and features leading print technology, workflows, and solutions, to give students the experience and ability to implement and replicate the processes used during G7 training in their own facilities, using their own technology.


The structure of training is also designed to closely resemble a common print workflow, and includes additional content and supplemental resources from the G7 Trainers and Idealliance. The training includes enhanced content on managing additional print, including meeting customer expectation in dealing with different substrates, uncoated vs coated stock, and specialty coatings. Training content, reference material, and print standards resources have also been updated to remain as a leading resource for print and color supply chain control experts looking to establish themselves as recognised industry leaders.


Crowther says: "Training consists of a variety of components, including shared slides, video, whiteboard illustrations of critical concepts, press runs and print calibration simulations, and hands-on analysis. Students are strongly encouraged to participate in hands-on activities utilising their own colour management tools and solutions. It's very comprehensive and results is certification as either a G7 Expert or Professional qualification."


The cost for the five-day course is between USD$1,799 and USD$2,619, depending on whether it is 'Expert' or 'Professional' certification and if a student or company is an Idealliance member.
