Notes on the Shipped Process Standards
•ISO 12647-2 (2007): yellow and secondary colors were slightly modified, now matching real printing conditions better.
·ISO 12647-2_2007BB: Current standard for offset printing based on ISO 12647-2_2004Amd1 for 2007; black backing; without secondary colors, overprint and density values; defined for paper grades PT1 thru PT5, theoretical.
·ISO 12647-2_2007WB: Current standard for offset printing based on ISO 12647-2_2004Amd1 for 2007; white backing; without secondary colors, overprint and density values; defined for paper grades PT1 thru PT5, theoretical.
•FOGRA39 is based on ISO 12647-2 (2007); for white backing only
·compared to ISO 12647-2 (2004): yellow and secondary colors were slightly modified
·compared to ISO 12647-2 (2007): secondary colors Green and Blue slightly modified; realistic and therefore enabled
•ISO 12647-2_2007 HDM_BB: Current HDMcoated standard based on ISO 12647-2_2007BB, equivalent to FOGRA39 for black backing; with secondary colors and overprint; without density values; with real values defined; defined for paper grades:
·PT1 - gloss coated
·PT4 - uncoated white
Note: You will find the color data in Color Tool xx.0\data\hdm
•FOGRA43/44: are based on ISO 12647-2 (2007); for white backing only
·for NP = non-periodic screening (FM screening)
·for two paper grades: PT1 - glossy coated (FOGRA43) and PT4 - uncoated white (FOGRA44)
·can be selected as ISO 12647-2_2008 FograWB NP
•ISO 12647-2_2013 WB NP: Offset printing standard ISO12647-2:2013 for non-periodic screening; paper grade PT1-2 (glossy coated (1) and matt coated (2)) and paper grade PT4 (uncoated, white paper)
•PSO ISO12647-2_2013-BB: Offset printing standard ISO12647-2:2013 for black backing; paper grade PT1-2 (glossy coated (1) and matt coated (2))
•Proof_12647-2_2007: Current offset printing standard for proofing ISO12647-2:2007
Paper grade PT1-2 (glossy coated (1) and matt coated (2)) - internal reference: FOGRA39L
Paper grade PT4 (uncoated, white paper) - internal reference: FOGRA47L
•Proof_ISO12647-2_2013: New offset printing standard for proofing ISO 12647-2:2013
Paper grade PT1 = new printing material "PS1 = Premium coated"
Internal reference: PC1_PremiumCoated_Beta
Paper grade PT4 = new printing material "PS5 = Woodfree uncoated"
Internal reference: PC5_WoodfreeUncoated_Beta
•Digital_PSD2007: Current offset printing standard ISO12647-2:2007
Paper grade PT1-2 (glossy coated (1) and matt coated (2)) - internal reference: FOGRA39L
Paper grade PT4 (uncoated, white paper) - internal reference: FOGRA47L
•Digital_PSD2013: New offset printing standard ISO 12647-2:2013
Paper grade PT1 = new printing material "PS1 = Premium coated"
Internal reference: PC1_PremiumCoated_Beta
Paper grade PT4 = new printing material "PS5 = Woodfree uncoated"
Internal reference: PC5_WoodfreeUncoated_Beta
•G7: CGATS.21-2: Current offset printing standard ISO 12647-2:2007
Paper grade PT1-2 (glossy coated (1) and matt coated (2)) = "Universal premium coated" substrate
Internal reference: CGATS21-2-CRPC6-PT1
Paper grade PT4 (uncoated white paper) = "Universal premium uncoated" substrate
Internal reference: CGATS21-2-CRPC3-PT4
As of version 2019, the process standards for 2016 are included in the shipment (for version 2018, available via update):
•Digital PSD_2016
•Proof ISO 12647-7_2016_Fogra51 / Fogra52
•ISO 12647-2_2016_AM_Fogra51 / Fogra52
These process standards do not use the PT1-4 printing material classes but the new ISO 12647-2 PS1-PS8 substrate classes. In this respect, PT1 = PS1, for example, for Fogra51 and PT4 = PS5, for example, for Fogra52. The other, rarely used substrate classes are new definitions and can only be selected in the edit mode.
When such a process standard is selected, the parameters that can be evaluated now have one additional item:
•Proof parameters: Maximum value for composite gray ΔCh*
•Digital parameters: Maximum value for gray balance patches ΔCh*
When these process standards are selected, "Delta E2000" is automatically set as the colorimetric comparative dimension (DeltaE types), something which has been "normative" for these standards since 2015. If you switch to "Delta Eab" for Proof or Digital, the default tolerances are retained and must be matched to Delta Eab!
You can also use the process standards for 2016 with Multicolor and spot colors.
