16、increasingly being used in the graphic arts industry for colour evaluation and colour acceptance (commonly referred to as “soft” proofing). This requires that the colour display and its associated viewing environment be able to simulate the appearance of the final printed image viewed under standard

17、 graphic arts viewing conditions. The major components required to accomplish this are assembled to create a soft proofing system which is usually comprised of a monitor, colour measurement device, driving software (for calibration, profiling the monitor, and displaying the data), and a viewing cabi

18、net. The overall design and calibration has to control and take into account the influence of ambient lighting.As the use of soft proofing increases, the need for an objective and vendor neutral assessment of soft proofing systems is steadily increasing. This International Standard specifies require

19、ments for systems that are used to produce, from digital data, images on electronic displays that are intended to simulate a characterized printing condition defined by a set of characterization data and spot colours defined by a physical reference.This International Standard builds on the monitor r

20、equirements defined in ISO 12646, the viewing cabinet defined in ISO 3664, and the requirements for contract hard copy proofing defined in ISO 12647-7.Three common soft proof scenarios are typically encountered. In the first scenario, a soft proof is displayed on a monitor without an associated view

21、ing cabinet. In the second scenario, a viewing cabinet is associated with the monitor. In the third, the monitor is a part of, and built-into, a viewing cabinet. To test how closely the displayed image simulates the encoded colorimetric data of the original, there is no need to differentiate between

22、 these three scenarios. However, to assess the similarity of the soft proof reproduction (as described in this standard) to a reference print, a viewing cabinet or controlled room lighting is required.The objective assessment of a soft proofing display system is carried out in three steps. First, th

23、e monitor and the viewing cabinet are tested to ensure that these components are capable of achieving the results needed to produce a high quality soft proof. Second, the capability of the combination of the monitor and the display driving software is tested. Third, the simulation of an output condi

24、tion, usually a characterized printing condition, is assessed.With respect to the data handling and display driving software, a separation is made between the driving of the display and the simulation of a given colorimetric reference, termed simulation. The primary focus of the display driving soft

25、ware lies in the accurate characterization of the display. This is typically accomplished by a contact measurement device.Once the display device itself is evaluated, the integration of the display and any associated viewing cabinet (or a room lighting setup to function as a viewing cabinet) and the

26、 effect of ambient lighting has to be evaluated. The simulation of an intended characterized printing condition represents the colorimetry of the display as seen from the viewer position. For that reason, telespectroradiometric readings are required at this stage of evaluation.The use of a display a

27、nd an associated viewing cabinet and/or the display integrated into a hard copy viewing cabinet often occurs in situations where a printed product, like a newspaper or offset print, is being evaluated with respect to the soft copy proof in the absence of a hard copy proof. In this case, there is act

28、ive research as to how a concrete document can be shown reliably in order to facilitate it as a contract proof or reference in disputes of colour difference.The use of a standalone display in uncontrolled ambient lighting is not subject of this International Standard because the final visual appeara

29、nce of a soft proof on a display cannot be judged without taking into account the influence of the ambient light, even when the soft proof is viewed alone, without comparison to a physical object like a proof print, production print, or product sample.Obtaining a good soft proof simulation of a refe

30、rence is not simple and to be fully accurate requires careful control of many aspects of the process. The primary purpose of this International Standard is to establish the criteria and tolerances needed to evaluate a complete soft proofing system. ISO 2015 All rights reserved vBS ISO 14861:2015BS I

31、SO 14861:2015Graphic technology Requirements for colour soft proofing systems1 ScopeThis International Standard specifies requirements for systems that are used to produce, from digital data, images on electronic displays that are intended to simulate a characterized printing condition defined by a

Appropriate test methods associated with these requirements are specified.2 Normative referencesThe followin

40、of spectral radiance is independent of the distance from the source, but the area that is imaged will not produce constant results unless the source is perfectly uniform. The surface of most displays (3.1) are not uniform enough for the radiance from a 25 mm diameter area to produce the same results

41、 as the radiance from a 10 mm diameter area. The distance to the display face and the cone half angle needs to be noted in the report.Note 2 to entry: While some instruments of this type have obvious external input optics such as lenses and apertures (telescopic optics), many simpler, portable instr

42、uments used in graphic reproduction have such input optics inside the instrument housing and may have the ability to be used as a non-contact spectroradiometer with full conformance with this definition.3.8surroundarea adjacent to the border of an image which, upon viewing the image, can affect the

Where the intended printing condition is included in the registry of characterizations maintained by the International Color Consortium (ICC) and the digital data are cyan-magenta-yellow-key (black) (CMYK), the name used in the ICC registry is

46、usually used for identification in lieu of including an ICC output profile. If the intended printing condition is not included in the said registry, PDF/X-1a requires that an ICC output profile be included.4.2 Display requirementsThe displays used for soft proofing shall meet either the class A or c

It is important to eliminate extraneous conditions that affect the

48、 appraisal of images on the display and prints in the viewing cabinet. There are many potential variations possible in soft proofing setups. To minimize variations, specific requirements are needed. In this International Standard, the final colour stimulus will be judged by instrumental measurements

49、 with specific requirements. For this reason, no additional normative requirements are provided for the position of the display.Principally, there are two different setups. The first environment consists of a display situated next to (but not inside) a dedicated viewing cabinet. Here, the ambient shall be controlled so that stray light is not having a significant impact on the displayed image or its surround. In this situation, the illuminance level inside the viewing cabinet can be adjusted with the aid of a telespectrophotomete
