One of our most recent collaborations involved the conversion of an Inca Onset S40i press from original OEM inks to Nazdar's new 730 Series UV Inkjet inks.

Working with Nazdar's team of highly specialized professionals, the conversion was a relatively simple process with minimal downtime or impact to daily production.

The team walked us through every step of the conversion from start to finish, answering every question along the way and culminating in the profiling of new 730 Series UV Inkjet inks to achieve G7 standards.

Expanded color gamut, higher adhesion properties, and value are the quantifiable advantages of using Nazdar's new 730 Series UV Inkjet inks. This directly affects our bottom line, but best of all, they positively impact our customer's experience.

After 6 months of use, Nazdar's inks have met and exceeded our expectations. Today I feel confident in the quality and durability of the 730 Series inks, but most of all, I feel confident in the team that stands behind them.

Special thanks to:
Richard Dunklee, Travis Barcelona, Steve Bryant, Buddy Jolly and the rest of the Nazdar team for their help and support.

Digital Grand Format Manager, Print Direction

I had the pleasure of working with Travis Barcelona, Nazdar Consulting Services, at our facility for Inkjet Technology & Color Management training. Upon his arrival, I quickly found that he was prepared to go above and beyond the task he was originally there for, as he not only helped us advance our Inkjet Technology and Color Management culture, but also provided solutions to help our process become more efficient. He assessed our workflow and building, and brought everything together with successful solutions. His level of service was exceptional as it was tailored to fit our needs, complemented by his excellent attention to detail and holistic consulting approach.

Erin Elinson
Director of Digital Printing, Mariak Industries, Inc.

I would like to thank you for your company’s exceptional work getting us up and going. For the past few months we couldn’t be where we are today without Nazdar’s help. After contacting Nazdar I knew I called the right place. We purchased 2 Mimaki JV33 printers and needed a RIP software to drive them. Unsure what to purchase, we looked to your consulting staff for answers. So in comes Mr. Tony Quinn. Expert consultant for Nazdar.

I had the privilege to attend the Digital Boot camp at SGIA a few months back. I'm writing to give Tony much deserved kudos. Going into the boot camp I had preconceived thoughts of what I was going to learn. I've been in the large/grand format business about 8yrs now so I figured I had already learned what I need to know. Let me tell you, I was way off on my perception of what I knew and what I thought I knew about this industry and color management. Tony, for me, was the most informative speaker we had. He has a real world knowledge kind of approach, he's been in the trenches and has had the same common problems we have all had but he has real world answers to the problems. He also did a great job on what I would call his side of the text book teaching. Before I attended the camp I had never heard the term deltaE. Tony explained it in detail and how it pertains to me personally. I could go on and on about the knowledge he has given me, but I just wanted to give you a glimpse into what Tony did for me at the boot camp. You have a great guy on your team. With his wealth of knowledge and the years of experience, I wish I had a chance to have him as a mentor. To sum it up Tony is an asset to the Digital Boot Camp, his training had the biggest impact on me out of all of the trainers. One last thing, he was a great help with getting us officially G7 certified. It was a painless and smooth process.

I had the pleasure of working with Tim Quinn at our facility this week. I have been through this procedure with several other vendors over the years and it has always been painful. Tim’s professionalism, patience and knowledge made this the easiest and quickest I have ever witnessed. After working with Tim I am confident that I will be able to maintain as well as create new G7 profiles throughout our facility. We managed to create profiles for 6 output devices over many substrates in 4 days. Quite a feat while also managing to keep production in the plant going. I asked Tim to work a couple of long days to get this done and he did it without hesitation. He is a valuable asset to your team as I am sure you are a aware of. His dedication and professionalism solidifies Nazdar as a valuable vendor/partner with DynaGraphics.

Roland Greene
Production Manager, DynaGraphics

Just a quick note to say thank you for supporting our efforts to bring G7 to the screen print world. The training last week was very successful and would not have been possible without your (above & beyond) support. The final press sheets were outstanding and I know from the comments from the attendees that they agree. I look forward to our next adventure. Again, Thank you for your support.

Joe Fazzi
Vice President of Media Production Technologies, IDEAlliance

Our experience at HD Graphics with Tony during his time here for training was phenomenal. He went above and beyond to help us fully understand the information we needed to improve everything from screens, art, and printing. We’d give Tony 5 out of 5 stars.

Lucas Idziak
Prepress Manager, HD Graphics Inc.

I wanted to let you know that my company (May Advertising) just passed our G7 requalification for the third year in a row due to the help of two of your totally awesome consultants with the last name of Quinn. Tim & Tony are great to work with, have always helped me with any question I have, and are also pretty cool too. You're lucky to have them on your team.

Design Director, May Advertising Intl

To all potential G7 and processNIO Candidates,

The purpose of this short letter is to provide others in the graphic production industry with a testimonial that will encourage you to become a G7 Master Printer and a processNIO user as I have. AAA Flag and Banner is one of the largest display and signage producers on the west coast. AAA produces both screen print and digital graphics for some of the most demanding clients in the nation. AAA is known for great quality and superior services. What you need to understand is AAA was a very successful manufacturer of quality graphics before we became a G7 Master Printer. We were not quick to take a look at G7 and processNIO. Now that we have tested and proved the system, the results we are experiencing are impressive.

We are thrilled about becoming a G7 Master Printer. G7 has been a huge productivity boost due to the common visual appearance we now have in the many different and diverse medias necessary to serve our customer base. Our screen printing, digital printing and even our dye sublimation operation is now using the same color target with phenomenal results.

processNIO, developed by Nazdar Consulting Services, has improved our color, dramatically reduced our ink consumption and simplified our G7 neutral gray compliance. If you are a candidate for G7 and processNIO, I encourage you to request an on-site demonstration. I know you will be as impressed as we are. Our NCS consultant Tim Quinn was an EXCEPTIONAL help and provided FURST CLASS training for our team. Everybody enjoyed the process and most importantly, THE RESULTS! Great program, great service, and first rate help from Tim! AAA tips our hat to the NazDar team!

Craig Furst
Vice President, AAA Flag & Banner

I just wanted to take a minute and comment on how well Process NIO has helped Fineline with our color management needs so we can meet the demands of our customer's expectations. It has been about 3 months now since we've changed our Inks in our Solvent and UV printers along with using the Alwan program for ink optimizations. Tim Quinn was the consultant that trained our staff on the Alwan program and his knowledge along with his customer care was top notch. We only wish we were able to have him here a little longer because the knowledge Tim possesses is unbelievable. But Tim made sure to give our staff the best training with Alwan possible in the short time he was here at our facility. Also I would like to mention that Josh Lutz and Sarah Bates were the technicians that completed the Ink switch for us, in addition to training Fineline on building color profiles for our equipment. The knowledge Josh and Sarah possess insured the decision to use Nazdar services was definitely the right decision for Fineline.

Tim Schell
Digital Production Supervisor, Fineline

Thanks to our dedicated workforce and the support from NAZDAR Consulting Services we have finally taken our company to the next level in color management and have used G7 practices to improve all elements of what we do here day in and day out; a benefit not only for us at GSP but for each one of our customers. A true win - win.

Tim, I would like to thank you for all of your guidance and consult during this process. Mike has really learned a lot from you and it will pay dividends to our company. Thanks again for your assistance and persistence.

The recent implementation of G7 at Color Process, Inc. has produced some amazing results. With the expert guidance and training provided by Tim and Tony Quinn and everyone at NCS we have been able to greatly reduce the time it takes to produce accurate press to proof color matching. The training provided by NCS in the Art, Screen and Print Departments was both thorough and intensive. Tim Quinn's knowledge of color theory and curve construction was a particularly crucial part of this training. Even after the training was complete, Tim and Tony were always available for any follow-up questions. This was invaluable and a demonstration of the professionalism at NCS. The accuracy and consistency of the G7 process cannot be overstated. Bottom line: A faster more efficient way of providing a better product for our customers.

Management Team, Color Process

Tim Quinn, a Nazdar G7 Expert, just visited my digital wide-format printing company, Portland Color. His visit was extraordinarily productive. Not only did he help us tweak our profiling to certify us as a G7 Master Printer, he showed us a direct and practical way to achieve better results on all of our digital devices. We have hired many other color consultants and trainers, but Tim was the first to really deliver what he promised. It was clear, sensible information that lead to immediate improvements. Our G7 training with Nazdar is the best money I have spent in years.

Andy Graham
President, Portland Color

Here is a review of our week long training and G7 Qualification effort that occurred here at Modernistic this past week. Tim Quinn did a fabulous job (as always)... the training was very thorough, informative, helpful and necessary. The result of his work and the Nazdar Chromatics G7 program includes:

• Two shifts of operators excited and fully informed on how to print neutral grey, improve setups, and run even higher quality product
• An art department that feels better equipped (training, software and hardware) to succeed on the front end of the process
• A management team that is anxious to reap the benefits of improved setups, throughput and quality, all leading to lower total costs and happy customers

This week was a great success!

Tim Beres
President, Modernistic, Inc.

Having Nazdar G7 expert Tony Quinn provide G7 qualification training for our Voss Signs, LLC digital and screen printing shop was the best investment made in the history of our company. Affectionately known here as TQ1, Tony's training was very thorough and efficient. Under Tony's professional guidance, we were able to make dramatic and sustainable improvement in our four-color screen printing process, and also to greatly enhance our color management skills in our digital printing department. Tony helped us to tie in our screen printing process with our digital printing platforms so that we now have outstanding color consistency and repeatability from a specific color target with any and all of our many printing processes. With the speed and accuracy in getting to color on press, the reduction in waste and increased print efficiencies, we have already recouped the training costs.

James Menter
President, Voss Signs, LLC

Albert Screen Print Inc., a high volume Screen, Litho and Digital printer, has greatly benefited from G-7 Calibration & Process control during the last year. Matching the proof to the press takes much less time which has enabled us to substantially reduce setup costs and increase productivity thus providing our customers with quicker turn-around times and similar visual appearance across a brand range of printing types.

Joe Presto
IT Manager, Albert Screen Print

Over the last couple of years we have come across the growing popularity of GRACol and G7. At the same time our customer base line has become more educated about different print methods and technologies offered. Brand integrity is critical to our clients. As a result, a majority of our clients and brand owners are now requesting G7 by name. Some of our bigger clients will not even deal with printers who are not G7 qualified. This has created greater opportunities for Ad Art as clients, wanting to maintain brand integrity, elect to award large projects to a facility such as ours that is equipped to print an entire project.

Jose Puentes
Print Production Manager, Ad Art Company

We at Tec Color Craft had spent many years trying to establish a way to consistently Screen Print 4-color process files. Soon after receiving G7 training from Nazdar Consulting Services, our consistency levels increased dramatically and so did our 4-color process business.

We now are able to print 65 and 85 line halftones that can very easily be confused with 110 line halftones. That is directly related to knowing what our capabilities are and knowing how to hit our G7 targets.

Chad Evans
Chief Operating Officer, TecColorCraft.com

In my 30 years of printing experience, G7 is the best 4-color process printing method I have ever used. It eliminates guessing what color should be adjusted during the setup procedure. With this new knowledge and the improvements in setup, we estimate that our company has a setup time savings of three hours per week. This will result in about $500,000 in additional sales per year.
