Printing Standard Network

 

The motivation

 

International standards in print production (such as ISO 12647) are of great importance for process control, quality assurance and customer relations of printers and prepress service providers. Printers are offering - and print buyers are increasingly demanding - print production process control according to ISO 12647. 

 

Today, specialists in associations and related organisations in Europe are successfully implementing ISO 12647 and other international printing standards in the industry. Several of these organisations and specialists have been supporting the work of ISO Technical Committee 130 Graphic Technology (International Standardisation Body, representing the printing industry) from the beginning.

 

The aims

 

Printing Standard Network (PSN) is a group of print-related associations under the umbrella of Intergraf. It aims at supporting and strengthening cooperation and application of ISO standards in print production. PSNis also a forum for individuals in associations and related organisations working actively with ISO standards in print production to promote their use in Europe.

 

The purpose of the network is to exchange information on the developments and best practices in the use of these standards. Its members share their knowledge and resources to increase the use of ISO standards in print production in the European graphic industry.
