scope:
This part of ISO 12647 specifies a number of primary parameters and their values to be applied when producing colour separations, printing formes and print production for four-colour sheet-fed and web-fed offset printing presses excluding metal decoration printing and coldset offset lithography on newsprint.
The parameters and values are chosen in view of the typical workflow covering the stages of colour separation, proof production, making of the printing forme, selection of OK print and production printing on all commercially available production substrates, excluding surfaces where ISO 13655 compliant measurements do not give reliable measurement data such as transparent film, metals or metallic coated paper.
This part of ISO 12647
- is directly applicable to press proof prints and four-colour offset printing,
- is applicable to press proof prints and printing processes with more than four process colours as long as direct analogies to four-colour printing are maintained,
- is applicable for all kinds of ink drying and ink curing methods.
This part of ISO 12647 is not applicable to other processes than offset lithography such as printing directly from digital data.
