ISO 12647
In the ISO 12647 the ISO norm for standardized printing. It shows the main cornerstones for standardized, color-accurate prints.
ISO 3664:2009
ISO 3664:2009 is an ISO standard that specifies lighting conditions for the visual assessment of colours and printed matter in prepress and other areas. To ensure that colour perception takes place under standardised conditions, the standard defines many aspects of lighting and describes the following aspects: Lighting conditions: The standard defines specific requirements for lighting. These include colour temperature, spectral distribution and stability to ensure consistent and accurate colour perception. Colour temperature: The standard recommends a colour temperature of 5000 Kelvin (D50 standard light), which corresponds approximately to a neutral …
ISOCoatedV2
ISOcoatedv2 is the most common color profile used in the printing industry in Europe. It represents the most common printing methods: offset printing on matte or glossy coated paper. It is no wonder that most printers presuppose the ISOcoatedv2 profile for prints. ISOcoatedv2 is valid for both glossy and matte photo paper, since the two papers hardly differ in color.
