Can ISO 15339 deliver on cross-process promise?

摘要

The latest attempt to standardise colour across processes and borders is based on results, so should eliminate variation, but some think it will merely add to the confusion. Colour is the lifeblood of any self-respecting printer. And so any opportunity to further assure all colour is exactly as it should be - particularly where the printer is dealing with highly sensitive brand-matching jobs - will hopefully be gratefully snapped up. Printers may well, then, have had their interest piqued of late by talk of a new colour management standard ISO 15339, due to be launched later this year. Colour management is also often a fiendishly complicated area though and, as such, not as well understood in the industry as perhaps it should be. So PrintWeek has delved into the details of what this standard will mean for the industry.
