The work of preparing International Standards is normally carri

8、ed out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. I

9、SO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare Internati

10、onal Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the el

11、ements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 12637-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 130, Graphic technology. ISO 12637 consists of the following parts, under the general title Graphic tec

13、rial nature. These exchanges often become difficult, either because of the great variety of terms used in various fields or languages to express the same concept, or because of the absence of, or the imprecision of, useful concepts. To avoid misunderstandings due to this situation and to facilitate

14、such exchanges, it is advisable to select terms to be used in various languages or in various countries to express the same concept, and to establish definitions providing satisfactory equivalents for the various terms in different languages. This part of ISO 12637 contains terms and definitions ass

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 12637-2:2008(E) ISO 2008 All rights reserved 1 Graphic technology Vocabulary Part 2: Prepress terms 1 Scope This part of ISO 12637 defines a set of prepress terms which may be used in the drafting of other International Standard

16、s for graphic technology. In order to facilitate their translation into other languages, the definitions are worded so as to avoid, where possible, any peculiarity attached to one language. 2 Terms and definitions 2.1 aliasing jagged or staircase effect in a raster image, caused by an insufficient n

Each pixel is represen
