Does anybody know was there any changes in new ISO 12647-2:2004 regarding
Dot Gain values or values are the same as in first edition (1996)?
If there was changes, could someone tell me exact numbers for commercial
printing with positive plates on papers 1,2,4,5?
with grateful thanks,
bebris
There a some differences in the Tonal Value Increase in the 2004 version
for ISO 12647-2.
And some in the 2005 version of 12647-3 (newspapers).
I don't have a (free) document describing these detailed percentages.
I know that bvdm (German Printers Association: www.bvdm.org)
has a document StandardMedien 2004 where you can find all the details.
You have to register yourself and read the German text.
I copied one of the replies bvdm made in an earlier discussion.
regards, Henk

ISO 12647-2 (1996) is *definitely outdated* (for at least some two years).
The current version is ISO/DIS 12647-2 (2004).
It is available as a valid standard document. All
standardization guidelines, characterization data, profiles (ECI, bvdm/Fogra
etc.) are based on the current version of ISO/DIS 12647-2 (2004). This
applies to
- standard characterization data 2004 (Fogra 27-32) see eg www.color.org
- standard profiles 2004 (ECI) www.eci.org
- Altona Test Suite Applikation Kit www.altonatessuite.com
- Process Standard Offset (manual bvdm)
- MSD | MedienStandard Druck 2004 www.bvdm.org/Aktuelles/Downloads.php
If you go to www.beuth.de (DIN, ISO standards publisher in Germany) and
search (suche) for "ISO 12647-2" all existing standard versions are shown:
the old (1996) one, the current version of ISO/DIS 12647-2 (2004),
adaptations (translations) of national standardization bodies (like BSI,
DIN, ÖN) etc. This is to some extend confusing for a normal user or
customer, as no further explanation is given.
Please urge your customers, colleagues *only to refer to the current version
of ISO/DIS 12647-2 (2004)*.
