5、ie graphique Vocabulaire Partie 4: Termes de postimpression BS ISO 12637-4:2008ii iiiForeword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out thr
6、ough 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. ISO collabo
7、rates 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 International Stand
8、ards. 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 elements of
9、this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 12637-4 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 130, Graphic technology. ISO 12637 consists of the following parts, under the general title Graphic technology Vo
10、cabulary: Part 1: Fundamental terms Part 2: Prepress terms Part 3: Printing terms Part 4: Postpress terms Part 5: Screen printing terms BS ISO 12637-4:2008iv Introduction Documentation gives rise to numerous international exchanges of both intellectual and material nature. These exchanges often beco
11、me 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 such exchanges, it is advisable to sele
12、ct 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. The purpose of ISO 12637 is to provide definitions that are rigorous, uncomplicated and which ca
13、n be understood by all concerned. BS ISO 12637-4:20081Graphic technology Vocabulary Part 4: Postpress terms 1 Scope This part of ISO 12637 defines a set of postpress terms which may be used in the drafting of other International Standards for graphic technology. In order to facilitate their translat
14、ion into other languages, the definitions are worded so as to avoid, where possible, any peculiarity attached to one language. 2 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 2.1 adhesive applicator converting device that applies different kinds
