The 12647 International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard provides standard process control aimpoints and tolerances for various printing methods and processes.
ISO 12647 consists of the following parts, under the general title Graphic technology — Process control for
the production of half-tone colour separations, proof and production prints:
-
