The fundamental purpose of ISO International Standards or standardization activities is to provide the requirements and methods for homogeneity and uniformity of products. This report describes trends and resulting conclusions regarding international standardization of color reproduction, briefly summarized here:
1) The standard for the treatment of UV light and its influence on print quality is almost complete.
2) Colorimetric measurement and computation, rather than the densitometric measurement and computation, is the dominant procedure for evaluating print quality.
3) Standards pertaining to spot color are needed, especially for package printing.
4) Standardization activities related to workflow associated with the printing process are underway; these will become more important in the future.
