So, the question becomes: is certification a good thing in itself? I
understand there are all kinds of marketing things that must spring from
having been endowed with some certification. Like, some color-saavy clients
could require a printer to be ISO certified. But ISO certification, to my
knowledge, has not crossed the ocean yet, if I'm not mistaking. So, over
here, in North America -- sorry to sound like a broken record --, the only
equivalent to having received an ISO certification is a SWOP certification,
and, possibly some day, who knows, a Gracol certification. But it's
conceivale for a North American printer, I guess, to seek an ISO
certification.
In your opinion, this is draw on your knowledge of SWOP and ISO-12647-2, is
haging received an ISO certification a guarantee that SWOP certified proofs
could be matched on press; in other words, is the ISO standard 'good enough'
for SWOP, or exceed SWOP's requirements? Let's not forget that SWOP, as an
organization, recently married Gracol. What is SWOP having embraced Gracol
going to mean to the masses of web offset lithographers? No more TVI? But
beyond that?
