Sun Chemical has signed a partnership contract with Fogra , the graphic technology research association based in Munich, Germany, to contribute to the association’s activities in the certification of offset print shops according to Process Standard Offset (PSO).

The contract, signed at drupa 2008, outlines Sun Chemical’s role in the partnership, which includes assisting print shops to meet the demands of the international print standard ISO 12647-2. This standard is applied when preparing color separations for 4-color offset printing or when producing 4-color prints by heatset web, sheetfed or continuous forms process printing. Both parties agreed to cooperate worldwide except in German-speaking countries, where Fogra has existing arrangements in place.

“We expect our PSO activities to take a significant step forward over the coming months,” said Dr. Eduard Neufeld, managing director, Fogra. “Fogra cooperates with companies in order to promote the worldwide use of ISO 12647. Sun Chemical has a wealth of experience and expertise in offset printing from all over the world which will bring considerable benefit to our activities.”
