Anyone done G7 methodology?

[Skinflint]

We were using some curves on our plates and proofs that our major pre press vendor had set up years before that no one here understood. I still don't know what logic or system they were based on, or if they even were based on any real, measured data. That is part of the key of making G7 work: being able to measure what you're doing. It was a big investment to buy the spectrophometer and the software to go with it, but it's been totally worth it. We are much more in control of our process now.

What software did you have to purchase?

We are using Monoco Profiler with the XRite DTP70 spectro.

What do you do when you need to adjust the curves that you are currently using?
Say for example something changes ie: blankets, ink etc..
