GSP Awarded 10 Years of G7 Master Qualification Status

Clearwater, Fla., Dec. 23, 2019 – GSP, a leading provider of retail services and solutions, is proud to announce that it has recently achieved G7® Master Qualification status for the tenth consecutive year. As part of an elite group of print service providers worldwide, GSP has successfully completed the program’s stringent qualification process year after year.

G7 Master Qualification is awarded by Idealliance, a nonprofit dedicated to guiding print production standards. G7 Master Status has become the industry’s leading set of best practices for achieving gray balance and the driving force for achieving visual similarity across print processes. G7, when implemented and managed correctly, will guarantee the best color results possible unique to the print device, ink colorants and substrate.

“As a G7 Master printer, GSP can use a G7 qualified digital proof for color checking or to reproduce a file without a proof,” explained Elaine Scrima, GSP’s Vice President of Operations. “Achieving G7 status ensures that our printed press sheets match digital proofs, speeds up workflow and enhances overall printing consistency – keeping costs down and jobs on schedule.”

Our Brand Story

GSP started as a printing company in1978. We found our niche supplying in-store signage for convenience stores when retailers guessed quantities they needed. This led to overage, waste and expense. To solve this, we developed software to guarantee on-time delivery of “the right size sign, to the right store, every time.”

In 2014, we started AccuStore with a dedicated team. As software helped drive our growth, we realized that new printing and fulfillment sites near customers could drive business and improve sustainability. We acquired companies that fit GSP’s technical excellence and superior customer service models.

First was Great Big Pictures in Madison, WI in 2015. They lead the field in large format printing and visual merchandising for iconic fashion retailers. Their standards for customer service include award-winning sustainability programs, and expertise to bolster retail environments services.

In 2020, GSP acquired Custom Color in Lenexa, KS. The company supplies printed graphics to leading retailers. Custom Color’s stellar quality in fabric printing also aligns with GSP’s values.
