Technical Information on ISO 12647
ISO 12647-2:2004 standard has been created as an international standard that sets a series of tight guidelines for reproducing colour across the reprographic and printing workflow. The specifications can be bought from the International Standards Organisation at www.iso.org. It contains detailed information to instill confidence in this standard, and allows print managers and publishers to convey exactly how they want their project to be reproduced. This keeps the workflow running smoothly from creative to pre-press to printing, where all too often misunderstandings can crop up and cause interference. The result is an improvement in colour consistency and less waste as digital information, proofs and printing are all brought together.
Specific parameters have to be followed and verified. The specification has targets and measurement settings for every process including different paper types. Manufacturing variables have been taken into account when defining each target.
The latest ISO printing specifications uses the CIElab model and Spectrophotometry to target solid colour measurement readings, to replace density weights which is traditionally used on press ink measurement.
The main reason for this change is to tackle the differences in printing with different inks, as they all have differing properties.
