I am currently trying to initiate a project to ensure all of our KBA
>sheetfed presses are printing to ISO standard. Is it possible to tell me
>where I can get information on this.
>
>I have downloaded an ICC profile for matt coated stock and installed it
>on an Agfa Grand Sherpa with promising results.
>
>However what specification must I ensure is adhered to on the presses to
>print to this profile.
>
>I.E What is the allowed dot gain on press for CMYK. If it is not correct
>do you suggest to correct this on the rip to meet the ISO standards.
>
>As far as I understand what the ISO standard will ensure is that
>everything is standard, such as dot gain and such like. That will tell a
>designer how different his work will print
>
>
>Is it then feasable that if scans are supplied linear that the correction
>is done on the rip bearing in mind that they have already been viewed
>using an icc profile that is geared for my presses.
>
>As you can see I am very keen to adopt the ISO standard but need to be
>very clear how I achieve this

>Kind Regards
