24、 agreed on a minimum set of parameters that uniquely define the visual characteristics and other technical properties of the planned print product. Such an agreement enables the correct production of suitable colour separated data (without recourse to “trial-and-error”) and subsequent production of
25、proof prints from these data. The purpose of digital proof prints or press proof prints is to simulate the visual characteristics of the finished print product as closely as possible. It should be further noticed that this International Standard provides aims for printing using typical printing equi
26、pment and tools for quality control under the given economical constraints.It is the purpose of this part of ISO 12647 to list and explain the minimum set of primary process parameters required for process control to uniquely define the visual characteristics and related technical properties for the
27、 contract or press proof print as well as the production print. Other parts of ISO 12647 define either specific values for these parameters that are appropriate for specific processes (such as lithography) or define matching tolerances based on a given characterization data set. Given an established
28、 fully characterized printing condition by means of a set of characterization data, ISO 12647-7 and ISO 12647-8 specify requirements for systems in order to produce a “Contract proof” or, at a less stringent level, a “Validation print”.For some processes certain parameters are more significant than
29、others and may be specified as mandatory while the remainder are optional. However, in this part of ISO 12647, all parameters are treated equally.Primary process parameters are defined here as having a direct bearing on the visual characteristics of the image. They depend on the pertinent printing p
30、rocess but typically comprise printing sequence, press, ink, the print substrate and the screening. Those parameters constitute a printing condition to be defined in the pertinent parts of this International Standard. Such a printing condition is characterized by means of associated colorimetric and
31、/or densitometric process control aims. This is usually facilitated by means of defined solid colorations (to be named here colorant descriptions) and tone response curves.A printing condition is therefore understood to refer to a set of primary process parameters and the resulting colorimetric and/
32、or densitometric characterization.Subordinate, formerly secondary, parameters are defined as those which may influence the image indirectly by changing the values of primary parameters. They are highly dependent on the relevant printing process. In case of offset printing typical influencing factors
33、 are speed, printing additives, blankets, and fountain solution types. Depending on the given combination of materials and machine setup, a press adjustment (also known as process calibration) might be necessary to achieve the colorimetric and/or densitometric process control aims of the printing co
34、ndition of interest. This is typically accomplished using one-dimensional curve adjustments.Even under standard conditions, i.e. a suitable data preparation that accounts for the different strengths and weaknesses of the individual printing conditions and a reproducible printing process that has min
35、imal variations both within a run and between runs, it is practically not possible to hit a given set of primary parameters exactly. Differences due to typical production tolerances or due to differences in press, ink or substrate are generally unavoidable and have to be accepted by the print buyer.
36、 On the other hand, for global data exchange and colour separation purposes, an elaborate colorimetric characterization of every printing condition is required. Such data can be extracted from one or more prints that were produced under carefully and tightly controlled (nearly laboratory) conditions
37、 followed by mathematical correction procedures that are specifically designed to compensate for the differences remaining, i.e. zero tolerance toward given aim values. Such a fully characterized printing condition is suitable to evaluate and examine the colour gamut and should not be confused with
38、the colorant description that only comprises colorimetric definitions of the solids (typically CMYK; MY, CY, CM and CMY).By facilitating modern methods of electronic data manipulation it is possible, as described, to establish characterization data sets that fully reflect the aim values of a given s
39、et of primary process parameters. This allows both process control aims for printing operations (to be connected with a general printing condition) as well as colorimetric aims for digital proofing processes in the prepress arena to be in concert.

41、) it is possible to extract the exact grey condition, namely the colorimetric values needed (under specified viewing conditions). Such a grey condition (not to be confused with the grey balance that represents the needed tone values for cyan, magenta and yellow in order to achieve a neutral grey) mi

43、vant parts of ISO 12647.In order to facilitate communication between prepress, print buyer and printer, it is recommended to use a press proof or digital print compliant to ISO 12647-7 (“Contract proof”) or ISO 12647-8 (“Validation print”). The proof print reliably shows the quality of the prepress
44、work and serves as the colour reference for the production run and, if necessary, may be used in case of a dispute between the print buyer and printer.vi ISO 2013 All rights reservedCopyright British Standards Institution Provided by IHS under license with BSI - Uncontrolled Copy Not for ResaleNo re
