Information

The Characterization data for offset, newspaper and screen printing provided in the accompanying characterisation tables provides colorimetric characterisation of various reference printing conditions that relate back to conditions specified in the parts 2 to 5 of the ISO 12647 series of international standards.

The characterisation tables show what colour to expect on a print if an image area with given CMYK data tone values is

  • output one-to-one with a 60/cm half-tone screen on to film with a [carefully linearised] image setter and if
  • the job is printed on the print substrate stated, with standard tone values and standard solid inking as specified in the pertinent part of ISO 12647, with inks conforming to the pertinent part of ISO 2846 and if
  • the colorimetry measurement is made according to ISO 13655 [12] which involves D50, 2 degree observer, 0/45 or 45/0 geometry, no polarizing filters, CIELAB and a black backing according to ISO 5-4 [10].

You'll find more information in the downloaded description; for profiles based on the above characterization data go to ECI.
