scope:

This part of ISO 15339 establishes principles for the use of colour characterization data as the definition of the intended relationship between input data and printed colour for copy preparation, job assembly, proofing, and graphic arts production printing. Additional parts of ISO 15339 specify a limited number of characterized reference printing conditions that span the expected range of colour gamut used for the production of printed material from digital data, regardless of the printing process used. The procedure to be used to adjust colour characterization data for the normally expected range of substrate colour is specified.
