Hi Joey,
Buying ISO conform materials (paper, ink, SW) does not make you an ISO
conform printer. You need these too, but what you mainly need a an ISO
conform process. This contains well controlled data handling from data
entry to contract proof, correct profiles, correct measuring strips etc.
Then you need a good quality proof printer, well maintained plate making
equipment and printing press which gives reproducible print results.
When you now use standard procedures which you have developed for your
own company and process, make the plates according to the standard, use
ISO conform inks and a suitable paper type then you must be able to
print within the color and tone value tolerances as specified in
ISO12647.
There are many useful software tools on the market, with or without
measuring equipment, to help you make things easier, to give more and
faster measuring results, to help to check your conformance etc. There
is as far as I know no software to convert your plate files from any
other profile into an ISO profile, this is something which can only be
done in the prepress.
Altogether printing conform ISO12647 is not so difficult, just needs to
set up good procedures, discipline to stay in conformance with these
procedures, proper education and most of all motivation of the press
operators and prepress department (and not to forget the sales
department) and well maintained good quality equipment.
Do not hesitate to contact us for information or support,
Succes.

Sirs,
i have been receiving proposals for services for ISO certification
including software-driven programs... is it possible to get ISO
compliance by buying software devices that can adjust or convert
printing plates to ISO profile? And if i am printing an ISO plates and
papers and inks, will that make me an ISO printer already? thanks
