G7 Press Calibration
ChromaChecker Print Inspector has a built-in G7™ engine that is accurate and flexible. Unlike many other G7 tools, it calibrates from production data — no dedicated press run required. CC Capture carries G7® Certification.
Key Advantages
- Calibration from production — no dedicated press run needed; use existing production jobs
- No P2P target required — supports smaller, smarter targets like CC-84 or Minimal G7
- Built-in variation analysis — evaluates within-sheet uniformity before generating curves
- Primaries and overprint evaluation — solid ink density and overprint color check
- Dot gain / TVI assessment — full tonality and gray balance evaluation
Recommended Control Strips
CC-84 (recommended)
CC-84 contains enough patches to evaluate variations, check primaries and overprints, evaluate tonality and gray balance, and includes gray-finder patches necessary to iterate G7 compensation curves.
Minimal G7
A compact 21-patch strip for production placement where space is limited. Analyzes G7 condition quickly without full TVI evaluation.
Other compatible targets: P2P, VI-816, CC-400, IT8.7/5, TC1617
Calibration Workflow
Closed-Loop Automation
ChromaChecker supports fully automated G7 closed-loop workflows. CC Capture exports compensation curves to a hot folder that a color server (e.g. Alwan ColorHub) monitors and applies automatically — completing each calibration iteration without manual file transfer.
