Media Standard Print
Media Standard Print is a publication of the Bundesverband Druck und Medien (BVDM) (German Printing and Media Industries Federation, Berlin), available on its website. The publication contains instructions on how to produce data and proofs that are to be sent to a printer. It is based on ProcessStandard Offset and therefore on the ISO standards 12647 and 15930. As such, it serves as the foundation for smooth cooperation between customer, prepress service provider and printer during media production, covering data formats, colour spaces, printing conditions, workflows, means of proofing, standards, black composition and much more. Only those printing conditions adopted in ISO 12647-2 to -6 are permitted.
