GSP Celebrates 8 Years of G7® Master Printer Status

Clearwater, Fla., December 12, 2017 – For the eighth consecutive year, GSP is proud to announce that it has achieved G7® Master Qualification status. GSP joins a very select group of print service providers worldwide that has successfully completed the rigorous program’s training – and an even more elite group who can say it consistently year after year.

G7® Master Qualification is awarded by Idealliance, a not-for-profit group dedicated to guiding print production standards. It 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. Only print providers who use the most modern technology, techniques and controls to calibrate imaging devices across production runs can achieve this high consistency.

“GSP’s clientele consists of some of the best names in retail. Quality and repeatability are very important to them for achieving a consistent brand look across thousands of stores. That’s why we remain dedicated to the precision of G7® certification for wide-format digital and screen printing,” said Elaine Scrima, GSP’s Vice President of Operations. “G7® ensures we will always exceed our customers’ expectation in terms of accuracy in proofing, brand color management and the print process.”

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.
