G7 Qualified Master Printer

What Does This Mean to You?

• Better match between press and proof
• Similar visual ‘appearance’ no matter where or how a job is printed
• Easier file exchange
• Faster color control saving you time and $ by avoiding wasted prints

Connolly Printing, LLC is now a fully qualified G7 Master Printer for proof, screen and digital printing, allowing our customers to benefit from the best color management available today. This means that we use the worldwide industry accepted standard G7 process to match color across multiple devices so that your print material colors will ‘look the same’ regardless of where or how they’re printed.

Our proofing systems and presses are calibrated and our technicians are fully trained and qualified to produce repeatable consistent color and images from proof to press, press to press, and even facility to facility.We are proud to join a very select group of printers who have earned this seal of approval, and we are excited to use this state of the art process to meet your printing needs.

The G7 specification is based on gray balance “target values” to monitor and control color. The “G” represents the calibrating Gray values and the “7” is the number of core colors in the ISO printing spectrum… Cyan (C), Magenta (M), Yellow (Y), Black (K), Red (M+Y), Green (C+Y) and Blue (C+M). Using the G7 process means that color is measured with hand-held spectrodensitometers to specific color to obtain a neutral Gray common across all printing industries. As a digital and screen printer who is a G7 Master, Connolly Printing has the distinct advantage of conforming to the most common color calibration in the world, allowing us to provide you with state of the art color management for superior products and services.

As a G7 Master, Connolly Printing can produce G7 proofs that are easily matched using any of our printing processes on any of our many substrates for consistent visual appearance. Being a G7 Master means we can produce proofs that can be easily matched by any other G7 printer, so your files become portable and interchangeable, and we can accept G7 proofs from other firms including ad agencies and pre-media shops and be ahead of the game in getting to color quickly and accurately.

Achieving the G7 Master Printer status means that Connolly Printing has successfully completed rigorous training, testing and auditing.

Connolly Printing

Connolly Printing understands that not all substrates cure at the same temperature thus having our new M&R UV carousel printing system gives us the flexibility to cure at rates ranging between 49 to 400 watts. Our M&R Switchback curing system is infinitely variable and accepts three different types of lamps: "Ferric/Iron Oxide, Gallium and Mercury Vapor (standard)" allowing operators to select optimum curing source and intensity for even the most difficult ink/substrate combinations.

CONQUEST
Conquest is M&R's versatile multi-color UV carousel printing system. Its unique design reduces labor costs by printing and curing up to six colors simultaneously. Since substrates don’t need to be dried and stacked between colors, they don’t have to be handled repeatedly. This prevents dimensional changes to substrates, and is especially beneficial for fragile substrates like glass. Since Conquest delivers finished prints in one revolution, it's possible to do color and registration adjustments for customer approval prior to the production run.

Conquest can index in either direction, and features automatically synchronized gear-driven screen peel and M&R’s patented ink retrieval system. UV cure stations operate independently and ensure uniform coverage by traversing the substrate during the print cycle. Traverse speed is independently controlled at each station. Wattage settings for each station are independent, and are controlled at the main panel. Each lamp has independent wattage settings and is capable of fully independent operation. Conquest’s standard 118 watts/cm (300 watts/in) cure system can be set at 49, 79, 98, or 118 watts/cm (125, 200, 250, or 300 watts/in). Conquest also offers a 400-watt UV curing system and the M&R Switchback™ UV curing system. The optional 157 watts/cm (400 watts/in) system can be set at 63, 79, 118, and 157 watts/cm (160, 200, 300, and 400 watts/in). The optional Switchback system is infinitely variable from 63 to 157 watts/cm (160 to 400 watts/in), and accepts three types of UV lamps—Ferric/Iron Oxide, Gallium, and Mercury Vapor (standard)—allowing operators to select the optimal curing source and intensity for even the most difficult ink/substrate combinations.

Conquest’s optional above-table double-sided sheet locator allows operators to load from any corner for double-sided work. Porter™, M&R’s fully adjustable suction-style takeoff, adapts to virtually any substrate. All this adds up to print quality and UV curing performance simply unobtainable with other manufacturers’ carousel print/cure systems. The product image includes the optional Porter Automatic Takeoff System.
