The first step of any print process standardization project is the standardization of the raw materials used, i.e. paper and ink. Unless these materials are consistently within the standards, it is very difficult to maintain the print process in conformance with ISO 12647-3. For newsink, we have ISO 2846-2:2007. This standard specifies the ink colours and transparency requirements of the newsinks.
