Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 12637-4 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 130, Graphic technology.
ISO 12637 consists of the following parts, under the general title Graphic technology — Vocabulary:
— Part 1: Fundamental terms
— Part 2: Prepress terms
— Part 3: Printing terms
— Part 4: Postpress terms
— Part 5: Screen printing terms

Introduction
Documentation gives rise to numerous international exchanges of both intellectual and material nature. These
exchanges often become difficult, either because of the great variety of terms used in various fields or
languages to express the same concept, or because of the absence of, or the imprecision of, useful concepts.
To avoid misunderstandings due to this situation and to facilitate such exchanges, it is advisable to select
terms to be used in various languages or in various countries to express the same concept, and to establish
definitions providing satisfactory equivalents for the various terms in different languages. The purpose of
ISO 12637 is to provide definitions that are rigorous, uncomplicated and which can be understood by all
concerned.
