Introducing ISO 3664 – Industrial Physics
ISO 3664 is an international ISO standard procedure that specifies the viewing conditions for images on both reflective and transmissive media.
This ISO color testing standard regulates these conditions for prints (both photographic and photomechanical) and transparencies, as well as images displayed in isolation on color monitors. It defines the requirements for the viewing conditions, test methods, and both essential and recommended targets to be achieved.
To get the most reliable results you should perform your ISO 3664 color testing using a colorbox assessment cabinet.
Who is ISO 3664 used by?
ISO 3664 is used for color proof testing at illumination levels similar to those for practical use by a wide range of different organizations. Some of these include printing houses, paper makers, photographers and advertising agencies.
It offers a reliable color testing method to appraise tone reproduction and the colorfulness of prints. It also enables critical appraisal of transparencies that are viewed by projection, for comparison with prints, objects or other reproductions. Finally it will guide the appraisal of images on color monitors that aren’t viewed in comparison with any hardcopy.
