Dong Yang Ink, Inksolutions complete G7
Testing.
Dong Yang Ink and Inksolutions LLC announced the completion of
testing on the Aronon-T series offset process ink and full certification
and compliancy of the global ISO-2846-1/G7 standards conducted by
PIA/GATF.
G7 methods are designed to help calibrate proofing systems and
presses based on principles of digital imaging, spectrophotometer and
computer-to-plate (CTP) technologies. G7 is currently being applied to
many types of printing including commercial and publication printing,
newsprint and flexo.
G7 specifies printing with inks defined by ISO 2846-1 so that the
dry solids measure as close as possible to the ISO CIELab values for
seven colors--the four primary colors and three two-color overprints
specified in ISO 12647.
G7 is named for its gray scale calibration technique and the seven
ISO ink colors it requires.
Testing for G7 certification of Dong Yang Ink began in December
2007 and is now complete, and all of the current process inks sold in
the U.S. meet the G7 standards.
