BS ISO 17972-4:2018

This standard BS ISO 17972-4:2018 Graphic technology. Colour data exchange format (CxF/X) is classified in these ICS categories:

• 35.240.30 IT applications in information, documentation and publishing
• 37.100.99 Other standards related to graphic technology

This document defines an exchange format for spectral measurement data of inks to provide a means to characterise spot colour inks to allow reliable printing and proofing of products that have been designed using these inks. Only isotropic (paper-like) substrates are within the scope of this document, which is limited to application areas where the same ink and paper combination that has been characterised is used when printing.

This document describes the use of a CustomResource element within the CxF framework to define a minimum and recommended set of data for exchange.
