ISO12647 colour management
ISO12647 is the international standard for colour management specification, that only serious high quality printing organisations follow.
By using ISO12647 clients can have total confidence in the science of our quality colour management, because our proofs can be trusted to be an accurate representation of the completed job.
Finsbury Green, an ISO12647 compliant printer, controls the complete process involved in producing the colours on paper enabling us to maintain high quality colour standards.
