ISO/TC130 (Graphic Technology) has been reactivated from July 1989 to study and deal with the color electronic prepress requirements of graphic industry. In Japan, Image Processing Technology Standards Committee (IPTS) was inaugurated in April 1988 to study the standardization for graphic technology. The exchange formats for precise color image data, input/output protocol of CEPS and test images are common work items in both committees. This document describes the perceived needs of the test image data and outlines the specifications of the test images.
