There is always confusion on "g7certified" vs "g7 qualified". Certification is given to systems that have met G7 requirements per IDEAlliance. Qualification is given to operations that have demonstrated ability to proof or print to G7 specifications. In the case of the photographer who provides neither proofs nor prints, qualification may not be relevant, though he probably should be prepared to demonstrate that his monitors are capable of compliance with G7 requirements.

Hello all -
I am a retoucher helping a commercial photographer bid on a job. One of the questions was "are you GraCol / SWOP certified?".
To my understanding, that is a way of proving that your proofing system is capable of printing within specified tolerances.
The photographer will not be doing any proofing, and will just be providing RGB images to be used for e-commerce.
I am just looking for some clarity on the specifics of being "certified", and what it would take to get "certified".
Thanks for your help.
Mark Franzen
