>>> Color Printing at GPO

“We are now doing a lot more color work in-house than we’ve ever done before, and for the first time in GPO’s history we are now a Level 2 printer [i.e. prestige quality, library quality, accurate and durable finishing]. Part of the reason is because, in addition to bringing in some new color presses—including a Heidelberg four-color—we’ve brought in some significant color management. We’re now using G7 calibration methods. And our goal is to produce high-end full-color work in-house now.”
