Idealliance Awards G7 System Certification to Onyx Graphics

The Alexandria, Virginia-based International Digital Enterprise Alliance, better known as Idealliance, announces it has awarded G7 System Certification to Salt Lake City-based Onyx Graphics for ONYX Media Manager with G7.

Onyx is a developer of RIP software and workflow systems for the signage and commercial graphics industry.

The nonprofit conducted an intensive evaluation of the Onyx software system, including data handling and verification, and it says the Onyx system met all the requirements as set forth by Idealliance.

“Inclusion of the G7 methodology in the Onyx system demonstrates how implementation of global color standards across all print technologies, and print mediums, drives the highest print quality and consistency for global print providers and print buyers in wide format, signage, and textile print applications,” says Jordan Gorski, vice president of global certification programs at Idealliance. “The ability for the Onyx engine to drive G7 near-neutral across all wide format print applications is a tremendous value for any print provider or print buyer looking to guarantee consistency and color quality, regardless of process or print medium.,”

Currently being drafted into ISO 12647-2, G7 near neutral is the standard for print consistency across the entire graphic communications industry, utilized by brands, creatives, pre-press, print service providers and the entire print and packaging supply chain. Utilizing G7 within a print production workflow improves output consistency across all print services, platforms, and distribution outlets.
