On June 2, 1996, the National Printing Standardization Technical Committee, Apple Computer and the American Printing Technology Foundation jointly held the "CHINA Ink Color Test Result Press Conference" in Beijing Kunlun Hotel. The continuation of the "CHINA Ink Color Standard Symposium" jointly initiated by Shen Haixiang, the director and director of the CHINA Printing Science and Technology Research Institute, and Mr. Jeff Martin, the global publishing and multimedia marketing manager of Apple Computer in the United States. It was decided at the meeting last year , The National Printing Standards Committee is responsible for collecting ink samples from major domestic ink manufacturers, which are sent by Apple Computer to the American Printing Technology Foundation for color testing.
At the "CHINA Ink Color Test Results Conference", it was announced that the four-color offset printing inks of seven major domestic ink manufacturers including Taiyuan Gaoshi Laurie Ink Chemical Co., Ltd. passed the standard ink test of the American Printing Technology Foundation.
The significance of this event is far-reaching. In the past ten years, with the solution of Chinese character information processing and the completion of PS version localization, my country's printing industry has undergone earth-shaking changes. Traditional lead and fire have been replaced by modern light and electricity. Especially after the emergence of the shadow and color desktop publishing system, its refreshing creativity, color management, and image-text output have opened a door for printers to a realm of satisfaction. How to restore the colorful images displayed by the color desktop system to the substrate, the standardization of ink color is one of the prerequisites. Only when the ink color is standardized and consistent, can people have a common language when exchanging color information. In order to ensure the consistency of the hue of printed matter in different places.
The far-reaching significance of this inspection activity is that through this inspection activity, all ink manufacturers in my country have obtained a consensus that ink colors can be standardized. This is not only an international development trend, but also a need for the increasing popularity of shadow and color desktop systems. On the surface, it restricts ink manufacturers and is beneficial to printing, but at a deeper level, since the formulation of ink color standards is in line with the general trend of the development of the printing industry, it will definitely bring a broader space for the survival of ink manufacturers.
The far-reaching significance of this testing activity is also that it has given a message to the majority of ink manufacturers and printing factories, that is, there is a certain basis and conditions for formulating Chinese ink color standards (see attached picture). Color" submitted to ISOITC130 for the record.
Through this test, it can also be seen that it is completely feasible to adopt the international standard ISO2846 "Complete Set of Offset Printing Ink-Colorimetric Characteristics" in my country, as long as the observation conditions, such as: light source, field of view, measurement density range, etc. It is enough to make some specific regulations on the situation.
This detection activity has created an opportunity for my country's ink color standardization work, and it is believed that "Chinese colors" will come out in the near future. The standardization of CHINA's ink color will surely promote the popularization of the shadow color desktop system in my country, and create prerequisites for my country's printing and ink industry to catch up with the world's professional level.
