MINNEAPOLIS — February 27, 2017 — Japs-Olson Company, a print and direct mail production provider for over 100 years, has received the 2017 G7 Master Qualification in Color Management certification awarded by Idealliance.  The designation, which Japs-Olson first achieved in 2009 for its sheetfed presses and in 2010 for its web platform, means that the Company uses G7 press calibration technology to assure a visual match from proof to print on all its presses.
