WEB PRINTING SPECS -- SWOP for the New Millennium

To address these challenges, SWOP has reaffirmed its mission and responded with initiatives intended to facilitate reliable communication of color information in the digital domain. These initiatives form much of the important new material in the 2001 SWOP specifications.

Anticipating future need for communicating color in an objective and numerical fashion in the digital age, SWOP partnered with CGATS (the ANSI Committee for Graphic Arts Technical Standards) in the mid-'90s to define and characterize publication printing.
