In recent years, the printing process has been digitized, DDCP (Direct Digital Color Proofing) has become widely used with introduction of CTP (Computer to Plate). Today, the movement toward standardization of printing is active. Color standards such as Japan Color and JMPA Color have been used as a color target of DDCP. In addition some printing companies set up the standard conditions of press printing and match the color of DDCP to that of press printing.
