The Synergistic Relationship between Standards for Data Exchange, Metrology, Process Control, and Color Management.

摘要

Traditionally standards for data exchange, metrology, process control and color management have been pursued somewhat independently by different groups within the standards community. However, as printing becomes more global, and is almost totally dependent on digital data preparation/prepress, these standards areas have become heavily dependant on each other and intertwined in surprising ways. This paper will review the current graphic arts and photographic standards landscape and will describe the interdependence among the various key areas. It will discuss some of the new approaches being taken in the area of process control as well as some of the steps being taken to revised standards to bring them into closer alignment with industry practice. It will also provide an update on the latest standards activities in ANSI/CGATS and ISO/TC130 committees.
