Gracol 7 is NOT a standard. It is a method, using gray balance references, in order to match the ISO 12647-2 standard specs.
When you say "switching" to Gracol 7, what was you standard reference prior to this "switch"?
Just want to make it clear that G7 or any other methods allowing to match the international printing standard can be used. It is only a matter of technique, numbers, know how.
It is funny to hear that client now request G7! It is a method, not a standard.

So my advice would be hire a color guy and have him set you up. Be careful who you hire though. If you go to the Gracol website I believe there is a list of Gracol certified experts around the united states. Hire one of them. GOOD LUCK!!!!
