Vision Graphics Upgrades Internet Bandwidth

December 8, 2009—As part of its ongoing commitment to provide world-class performance for its customers, Vision Graphics has upgraded its Internet connection to a 20-megabit fiber-optic link in Loveland and a 20-megabit microwave link in Denver. The new connections are four times faster than the previous 5-megabit bandwidth.

Vision uses a secure, encrypted Virtual Private Network (VPN) to integrate their Denver and Loveland locations. This enables both plants to operate under a single integrated job management and prepress system. With the increased bandwidth, Vision can efficiently create proofs and plates and schedule production in either location.

The increased bandwidth also benefits customers using Vision’s InSite online prepress portal. Depending on the customer’s connection speed, upload of a 100 MB file to Vision’s InSite server can now occur in less than one minute. Review and approval of InSite jobs now happens even faster than before.

The ELP consists of three tiers, Bronze, Silver and Gold. An entity awarded to the Silver Tier of the Environmental Leadership Program must have committed to developing and implementing an environmental management system (EMS) within an agreed upon timeframe, not to exceed three years, in addition to meeting the requirements for “beyond compliance” activities and programs. In addition, an entity is nominated to the Silver Tier of the Environmental Leadership Program for making significant achievement(s) in improving the environment of Colorado. The areas of achievement, which must be beyond compliance, may include one or more of the following:

Improvement in air quality;
Improvement in water quality;
Reducing water usage;
Reducing energy use (e.g. an Energy Star Achievement);
Solid and/or hazardous waste reductions;
Implementing pollution prevention actions;
Land use improvements or protection;

Also an internal audit and third party review of the EMS in a documented fashion must be completed, in addition to meeting the requirements for "beyond compliance" activities and programs.

Vision Graphics Receives G7 Master Printer Certification

ELP Bronze August 31, 2009—The IDEAlliance G7 Master Qualification program identifies Printing Companies, Prepress Service Providers and Agencies who have been trained to use the G7 Proof-to-Print Process and can consistently produce proofs and/or print to the G7 Method. The G7 Master Qualification Seal means that the company uses the most modern technology, techniques, proofing, press controls and standards required to produce a close visual match from proof to print.

G7® is a Method defined by the Print Properties and Colorimetrics Working Group of IDEAlliance. Initially G7 was developed by the IDEAlliance GRACoL Working Group. But as adoption of G7 grew, it became clear that the application of this method that enables printers to reproduce a similar visual appearance across printing types and substrates should be addressed by a group with reach beyond the focus on sheetfed offset printing that is unique to the GRACoL working group. Today, through the PPC Working Group, experts from across the spectrum of printing disciplines contribute to this important IDEAlliance Methodology.

G7® specifies the components of an image that define a similar "visual appearance" to the human eye.

To do this, the G7 Method:

Defines a colormetric definition for gray balance
Specifies gray balance in the midtones, image weight and image contrast from the highlights to the shadows which are the factors that determine likeness of the visual appearance of an image
