The work of preparing International Standard
11、s is normally carried 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
12、part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In part
13、icular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives). Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of
14、this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

17、documented consensus agreements containing safety, technical specifications, or other precise criteria to be used consistently as rules, guidelines, or definitions of characteristics for materials, products, processes, and services. In many cases, they provide uniformity, which allows worldwide acce
18、ptance and application of a product or material. The aim is to facilitate trade, exchange, and technology transfer. Standards help to remove technical barriers to trade leading to new markets and economic growth for the industry. Today, companies are facing fundamental changes in the way they do bus
19、iness. Strategies and business practices are continuously being evaluated to determine how to maintain and increase market share, reduce costs, increase productivity and safety, and achieve and maintain a competitive edge. Graphic arts companies face these changes starting from a point at which the
20、standards are not completely adopted by the market even if they provide complete technical guidelines. Graphic industries are only a small part of the graphic market made up of micro and small handcraft companies throughout the world. During recent years, many transformations have occurred in the ma
21、rket. Digital communications and digital media technology have driven restructuring in the graphic arts industry. ISO/TC 130 is working to reflect these changes in the standard development structure with new approaches and ideas to follow todays market and trends and anticipate future requirements.
22、All graphic arts companies can use the structure of the published standards to support their business and to harmonize production workflows irrespective of the size of the company. Published standards for the printing, publishing, and finishing industries enable processes to run faster, more predict
23、ably and more efficiently, and to be more cost effective by providing uniform, defined procedures, and tools that help users produce quality products for their customers, facilitating interconnectivity and process integration among systems, allowing users to communicate easily with one another, enha
24、ncing product quality and reliability at a reasonable price, increasing distribution efficiency and ease of maintenance, improving health, safety, and environmental protection, and reducing waste. The language used to write standards in recent decades mainly reflects the needs of printers and the pr
25、inters suppliers, ignoring the other actors in the printing supply chain. This Technical Report tries to describe the relationship between standards with all the actors in the graphic supply chain taken into account, preparing the market for tomorrows standards structure. The composition of the grap
26、hic arts supply chain varies depending on the kind of product manufactured and the size of the graphics project measured in terms of the number of copies, but tends to be similar around the world. Every actor or stakeholder in the supply chain may be a single person, a small company, or a big organi
27、zation. In every case, thanks to the digitalization of the graphic arts supply chain achieved mainly over the past 20 years, instruments, methodology, and production standards can be the same irrespective of the size of the stakeholders organization. Today, a single freelance designer can use the sa
28、me software and provide the same results as a gigantic multi-national agency and there is no technical reason why they should not use the same standards. The same is true for printers. A small printing company with the ability to produce at the same quality level can compete or collaborate with big
29、companies if both follow the ISO standards. . All the ISO/TC 130 standards, particularly the process control standards, aim to describe the so-called “standard quality”. Many people in the graphic arts industry think that this “standard quality” is good for big production companies distributed world
30、wide, but not for small regional production companies. ISO 2015 All rights reserved v PD ISO/TR 19300:2015 ISO/TR 19300:2015(E) This was not the intention of ISO/TC 130 because if the “standard quality” reflects the minimum set of warranties that a supplier needs to give to customers, in terms of fu
31、lfilling the expectation of a small variability within printing runs, most of the companies that ignore ISO standards have big problems in maintaining a constant level of predictable quality of the final results. Without such predictability, the result is likely to change in every printing run and t
32、he final product will be a unique handcrafted printed product, which in most cases, is unlikely to fulfill the needs of customers in any scenario. The set of parameters used to define the print quality attributes of a final graphic product have not been described in any document up to now, but ISO/T
33、C 130 is working with other ISO committees to define such a set. ISO/TC 130 standards describe and define certain parameters for a printing product, together with their tolerances, but ignore most of them. Since most ISO standards are related to properties of materials and to process control, the qu
34、ality is here defined by parameters related to single and unfinished print. Within ISO aims and tolerances, there is the possibility of delivering different products so that small companies making regional products can benefit from standardization and produce something both unique and precious. At t
35、he same time, big companies can follow ISO aims and tolerances strictly to guarantee predictability and consistency around the world. Quality control of the final product is not, in most cases, standardized so finishing processes such as lamination, varnishes, and binding, which affect customer sati
36、sfaction, will depend on the ability of printers, finishers, or converters. Digital printing is more and more widely used in graphic arts production and its processes interrelate and overlap with traditional printing. There are many different fast-changing digital printing technologies and it is now
37、 included in many conventional printing companies. We can consider a printing process as digital either when the image is transferred to the substrate by a digital technology and there is no printing form or when the process has the ability to change the image with every print. Digital printing infl
38、uences workflows and process control. International Standards that support digital printing are under development within ISO/TC 130, for instance, the ISO 15311 (all parts). Other ISO documents can be used in a digital printing workflow, for instance, the ISO PAS 15339 (all parts).vi ISO 2015 All ri
