Communicorp, a subsidiary of Aflac, one of the largest marketing solutions providers in the Southeast, has announced the company's recertification of the prestigious G7 Master Qualification. Meeting the standards set forth by Idealliance– a not-for-profit industry group dedicated to guiding print production best practices, specifications and standards worldwide – Communicorp is one of 12 Master Qualified print service providers in Georgia driving quality and excellence in the print production industry.

G7 is Idealliance's industry-leading set of best practices for achieving gray balance and is the driving force for achieving visual similarity across all print processes. The application of this method enables printers to reproduce a similar visual appearance, with consistency across all printing types and substrates. Over the past four years, Communicorp has successfully completed training and examination of their print production processes, validating their capabilities to the highest level of global industry standards year after year.

"Quality and visual consistency are vital to our print production process," said Jason Lansdon, senior manager for Communicorp. "It is incredibly rewarding to be recognized for our dedication to facilitating best practices in color management, quality assurance and production workflow. The G7 Master Qualification ensures we are able to provide our customers with constant visual impact and color that is spot-on each time. This, in turn, maximizes our performance, offering the highest standards of quality and excellence to the benefit of our customers."

Communicorp offers a wide array of digital printing solutions using the Heidelberg XL 105 printing press and the Epson 9900 proofer. Already an efficient print provider, Communicorp was trained by certified G7 experts Chuck Koehler and Tony Taylor with Superior Printing Inks and through the Idealliance G7 Master Program to achieve further productivity gains to better serve its customers' objectives for brand color quality and control.

"We applaud Communicorp for utilizing the G7 Master Program to assure consistency and quality in their proofing, brand color management and print processes," commented Steve Bonoff for Idealliance. "G7 Master Qualification demonstrates a level of control and expertise that places Communicorp at the top of its field. We applaud their leadership, commitment and support of the G7 Master Qualification Program."
