INDUSTRY CONSORTIA

International Color Consortium® (ICC)

The International Color Consortium (ICC) was established in 1993 by eight industry vendors for the purpose of creating, promoting and encouraging the standardization and evolution of an open, vendor-neutral, cross-platform color management system architecture and components.

The outcome of this co-operation was the development of the ICC profile specification. The intent of the International Color Consortium profile format is to provide a cross-platform device profile format. Device profiles can be used to translate color data created on one device into another device's native color space. The acceptance of this format by operating system vendors allows end users to transparently move profiles and images with embedded profiles between different operating systems. This permits tremendous flexibility to both users and vendors. For example, it allows users to be sure that their image will retain its color fidelity when moved between systems and applications. Furthermore, it allows a manufacturer to create a single profile for multiple operating systems.

The Chairman of the ICC is Craig Revie of Fuji Film Electronic Imaging. The Vice Chairman is Michael Rodriguez of RR Donnelley. Phil Green of the London College of Communication is the Technical Secretary. NPES The Association for the Suppliers of Printing, Publishing and Converting serves as the Administrative Secretariat.

See the following page for a complete list of International Color Consortium members. Additional information on the ICC is available at http://www.color.org.

ISO TC 130/JWG 7 - Colour Management

The International Color Consortium (ICC) entered into discussions with ISO TC130 regarding an interest in having the ICC specification become an ISO standard. TC 130 responded by having a new work item approved for this project. A formal agreement was made between the ICC and ISO identifying the responsibilities and process for the development of ICC specifications as ISO standards, and the distribution rights of such documents.

The ISO Joint Working Group (ISO/TC130/JWG 7 – Colour Management) was formed to handle the work with other ISO Technical Committees invited to participate. TC 130 is the administrator of the joint working group. For more information on TC 130, see Chapter 7: ISO TC 130 and US TAG to ISO TC 130.

56 NPES Standards Bluebook – May 2005 The International Cooperation for the Integration of Processes in Prepress, Press and Postpress (CIP4)

CIP4 is an international association located in Switzerland. The purpose of the association is to encourage computer based integration of all processes that have to be considered in the graphic arts industry, in particular the specification of standards.

The International Cooperation for the Integration of Processes in Prepress, Press and Postpress (CIP4) is the successor of CIP3, which started in 1995 as a joint initiative of vendors for the graphical arts industry. Since then CIP3 has developed the Print Production Format which is today implemented in many applications.

CIP4 is about to develop and promote vendor independent standards for the graphic arts industry, such as the new Job Definition Format (JDF).

CIP4 runs several working groups in order to develop new extensions of JDF and to discuss future use cases. This is intended to be an ongoing process. Currently CIP4 is running the following working groups:

ƒ Advertising / Magazine publishing ƒ Newspaper ƒ Color Workflow ƒ Packaging & Label ƒ Device capability description ƒ Process resources and definitions ƒ Device messaging / Job tracking ƒ Tools & Infrastructure ƒ eCommerce ƒ Use cases / Compliance ƒ Finishing ƒ Variable Data ƒ Gravure ƒ Web/Rotary printing

See the following pages for a complete list of CIP4 members. Additional information on CIP4 can be found at http://www.cip4.org.
