I am sure I've seen something like this before... Printed in Norway or
Sweden, I believe; but I can't recall at what tradeshow (somewhere
from Ipex
98 to Print 01, probably Drupa 2000).
Roberto,
The Color Bible is often advertised in Aktuell Grafisk Information
(
http://www.agi.se and same for no and dk).
It is printed as per ISO 12647-2:1996 or ISO 12647-2:1998, but I never
looked at it and don't know which of the printing conditions it
supports.
The idea behind the project is an extension of the idea launched by the
IFRA / Apple ColorSync project in Sweden, that is, if you have a
physical reference for a known printing condition, you can target that
and still be color managed without a spectrophotometer.
When the Swedish newspapers discovered that on-line ICC profiles for
their printing conditions allowed users to dial the right values for
spot to process conversions right in, the complaints and refunds
plummetted. The Nordic newspaper organizations then put out printed
references for spot to process conversions.
The way I understand it, the Color Bible is simply an extension of this
idea which tries to offer a whole lot of process colors for known
printing conditions. There used to be such swatch books in the early
days of desktop publishing, but they were for house standard and not
international standard printing conditions.
If you need to know more, try the folks at
http://www.tim.se or those
at
http://www.prinfo.se (in which case you might want Martina Stahl who
used to be with Apple and before that worked on the national newspaper
color management project).
