Graphic technology — Process control for the manufacture of
half-tone colour separations, proof and production prints —
Part 5:
Screen printing
1 Scope
This part of ISO 12647 specifies a number of process parameters and their values to be applied when preparing
colour separations for four-colour screen process printing when producing four-colour proof and production prints
by flat bed or cylinder screen printing.
The parameters and values are chosen in view of the complete process covering the following process stages:
 colour separation,
 making of the printing forme,
 proof production,
 production printing,
 surface finishing.
