Color Management
Expert GMI certification consulting for retailer-compliant packaging and brand consistency—combined with G7 implementation for predictable, efficient results across every print job and our exclusive Print Quality Management (PQM) service for complete, enforceable color control across global suppliers.
We deliver measurable improvements in color accuracy, workflow efficiency, and compliance for brands, agencies, and print providers—cutting waste, speeding production, and eliminating costly mismatches. Our leading expertise in GMI helps clients meet strict retailer standards and secure premium opportunities, while G7 and PQM ensure broad repeatability and long-term brand consistency.
Core Problem
Color inconsistency is expensive—regardless of output. Variations across substrates, presses, or suppliers lead to:
Extended makeready and setup times
Reprints and material waste (often 20-30% higher without calibration)
Client rejections and complaints over color shifts
Lost deadlines, trust, and retailer approvals
We fix this with proven consulting and optimization.
Our Expertise & Results
Our primary strength is GMI (Graphic Measures International) consulting—providing full audit preparation, implementation, process controls, and ongoing compliance to satisfy major retailer requirements. This ensures shelf-ready quality, reduces supply-chain risks, minimizes costly audits/rework, and positions clients for premium brand/retailer contracts.
We strengthen this foundation with Idealliance G7 implementation (as certified G7 Experts, including BrandQ frameworks) for device-independent, repeatable color across any print type—delivering documented efficiency gains from real operations and industry benchmarks:
Makeready/setup time reduced by up to 75%
Client rejections dropped by 43% on average
Material savings of 2-5% annually (e.g., $4,000–$10,000 on a $200k budget)
Faster color achievement (hours vs. days/weeks)
Press productivity gains of 25%+ through fewer corrections
These outcomes apply broadly; GMI clients gain additional advantages in compliance, approvals, and high-value work.
