Dave Hunter, Principal, Pilot Marketing

The Business of Print has to be managed as a manufacturing process; Do you compete as a Commodity or Quality Printer? 

1) Commodity (Price based) or 
2) Quality based on G7 and ISO15339

It is easy to prove that you are priced based, but how do you prove that you are "quality" based? This session will help you prove that your organization is a quality based print company and can prove it to allow you to make a premium on your products and eliminate customer and third party audits.

What you'll learn

  • What is the G7 methodology and why it is incredibly beneficial to any type of printing company?
