16、 iv I SO 4002 All irthgs ersedevrForeword 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 through ISO technical committees. Each member body inte
17、rested 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 collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnica
18、l 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 Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the t
19、echnical 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 this document may be the subject of patent rights. I
20、SO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 18055-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 42, Photography. ISO 18055 consists of the following parts, under the general title Photography and imaging Inkjet media: Classification, nomenclature and dimensions
21、: Part 1: Photo-grade media (paper and film) Non-photo-grade media (paper, film and other bases) will be the subject of a future Part 2. BSISO180551:2004IS-55081 O1:(4002E) I SO 4002 All irthgs ersedevr vIntroduction Within the rapidly developing field of inkjet media, there is a need to establish c
22、lear and unambiguous classifications with regard to descriptions of product types, formats/sizes, thicknesses/grammages and general nomenclature. It is important that all participants in the inkjet market, i.e. producers, processing industries, trade and end-users, achieve an agreed, consistent unde
23、rstanding of all these elements of the market. It is the aim of this part of ISO 18055 to establish such an understanding, in respect of photo-grade media.

28、jet medium liquid-permeable or -impermeable base (paper or film), the surface of which is rendered capable of receiving and retaining an inkjet image, either by chemical treatment or by means of a suitable receiver layer NOTE Inkjet media is the plural form of this term. 3.3 preferred size industry
29、standard size, as determined by most frequent user demand (number of units) and product volume (square metres) NOTE Designers of new equipment are encouraged to use preferred sizes whenever possible. BSISO180551:2004IS-55081 O1:(4002E) 2 I SO 4002 All irthgs ersedevr3.4 recognized size size that is
30、significant in the industry, but not so generally used that it is selected as preferred size NOTE This category assists the reader to understand the requirements for certain sizes that may have been once preferred and are becoming less popular, or are new and are becoming more popular. 3.5 nominal s
31、ize size reference that appears on product labels and in catalogues 3.6 core physical mass, which serves as the central part of a wound roll of paper or film, that has no fixed flanges at its ends and is generally cylindrical NOTE A flanged, cylindrical core for roll paper or film is called a “spool
32、”. 3.7 resin coated RC coated on both sides of the base (usually paper) with a “resin”, usually polyethylene, to render it water- impermeable NOTE The designation PE (polyethylene) is sometimes used synonymously with RC. 3.8 cast coated coated on the image-receiving side of the paper base with a hig

34、ing layers NOTE The barrier layer is often composed of latexes, and is impermeable only to liquid water and dyes; water vapour and solvents may slowly penetrate into the paper pulp. 4 Nomenclature and classification of types of inkjet medium 4.1 Photo-grade medium A photo-grade medium is either pape
35、r or film with an image-receiving layer that, when printed on, can produce image quality comparable with conventional photography, in terms of resolution, graininess, sharpness, tone reproduction and colour reproduction. A photo-grade medium has physical characteristics comparable with conventional
36、photographic media including stiffness, mass, texture and durability, and is generally intended for inkjet printing of photographic images in high-quality and demanding applications. NOTE 1 The above list of physical characteristics is not necessarily exhaustive, and does not preclude other characte
37、ristics becoming important in future products. NOTE 2 The image-receiving layer is usually coated only on one side, and fully retains high volumes of ink without loss of image quality or functionality. An anti-curl layer may be coated on the reverse side. BSISO180551:2004IS-55081 O1:(4002E) I SO 400
38、2 All irthgs ersedevr 3Photo-grade media can be classified into one of the following categories. a) Resin-coated photo-grade paper (RC photo-grade paper) has a water-impermeable resin layer under an imaging layer. Its surface appearance ranges from high gloss to dead matt. b) Barrier-coated photo-gr
39、ade paper has a water-impermeable barrier layer under imaging layer. Its surface appearance ranges from high gloss to dead matt. c) Coated photo-grade paper has a water-permeable layer under imaging layer. It can be cast-coated or micro-ceramic. Its surface appearance ranges from high gloss to dead
40、matt. d) Photo-grade film consists of a generally polymeric, water-impermeable base (substrate) (e.g. polyester, vinyl), coated on one side with an image-receiving layer. It may be coated on the reverse side with an anti-curl layer. There are three categories of photo-grade film as follows. 1) Opaqu
41、e film (white film) has a substrate that is pigmented white (pigment dispersion, voided, or coated with a pigmented layer). It is intended for applications involving reflected illumination. Its surface appearance is usually glossy, but can range from glossy to matt. 2) Translucent film (back-lit fil
42、m) has either a translucent base (achieved by lower pigment loading) or a clear base with slight pigmentation of the imaging layer. It is intended for applications involving transmitted illumination. It can be front-coated (intended for illumination from the non-imaged side) or reverse-coated (inten
43、ded for illumination from the imaged side). Its surface appearance is usually glossy, but can range from glossy to matt 3) Transparent film (clear film or transparency) has an unpigmented substrate, that freely transmits incident illumination. It is intended for viewing by either direct (e.g. back-l
44、it through a diffuser) or indirect (e.g. by projection onto a viewing surface) transmitted light. Its surface appearance is usually glossy, but can range from glossy to matt. 4.2 Non-photo-grade medium A non-photo-grade medium is generally of less high quality than a photo-grade medium, and more sui
45、table for less demanding applications. Some such materials are not even specifically designed for inkjet use. Non- photo-grade media are outside the scope of this International Standard, but have been included here for comparative purposes. 5 Conditions for measurement of dimensions and thicknesses
46、The dimensions and tolerances specified in this part of ISO 18055 apply at the time of manufacture, measured under atmospheric conditions of (23 2) C and (50 5) % relative humidity, as specified in ISO 554:1976 (see Annex B). All measuring instrument calibrations shall be conducted at a temperature
47、of 20 C (as specified in ISO 1) and a relative humidity of 50 %. 6 Dimensions 6.1 Sheet dimensions Aim and tolerance values for preferred dimensions of sheets shall conform to specifications given in Table 1. Aim and tolerance values for recognized dimensions of sheets shall conform to specification

For widths of rolls that do not comply with the specifications given
49、in Table 3, they shall conform to the aim and tolerance specifications given in Table 4. 6.2.2 Roll lengths Roll lengths are not specified normatively in this part of ISO 18055. However, in order to encourage a beneficial degree of standardization, recommended roll lengths are given for information in Annex A. The actual length shall be no less than the nominal length, but additional length is left to the di
