Overview

ISO 11312:2000 - Photography - Sheets of sensitized material for the pre-press industry - Dimensions and related requirements - defines dimensional and marking requirements for sheets of photographic sensitized material used in pre-press workflows, including materials intended for electronic scanners. The standard promotes compatibility between sensitized film, packaging and pre-press equipment by prescribing measurement conditions, cutting rules, tolerances, identification marks and package marking requirements.

Key topics and requirements

• Scope: Applies to sheet films and sensitized materials for pre-press (includes scanner output film).
• Measurement conditions: Dimensions are specified at manufacture under the standard atmosphere of 23 ± 2 °C and 50 ± 5 % RH (ISO 554). Measurement instrument calibration is referenced to 20 °C (ISO 1).
• Cutting rules and tolerances: The standard gives general rules for aim sizes and tolerances by nominal width:
  • ≤150 mm: aim = nominal − 0.25 mm; tolerance ±0.25 mm

  • 150 mm to ≤260 mm: aim = nominal − 0.5 mm; tolerance ±0.5 mm

  • 260 mm: aim = nominal − 0.8 mm; tolerance ±0.8 mm

  • Recognized pre-press “A” sizes (A4, A3, etc.), pre-press “A+margin” sizes and many historic inch-based sizes are listed as specific aim/min/max dimensions.
• Squareness and edge straightness: Compliance is checked by comparing a sheet against two perfect rectangles sized to the minimum and maximum tolerances. No point on the sheet perimeter shall fall inside the smaller rectangle or outside the larger one.
• Identification of sensitized side: Notches may identify the sensitive side; when the long edge is vertical, notches are on the shorter edge near upper-right or lower-left, at least 10 mm from the corner and no deeper than 2.5 mm. Notch patterns may be used as manufacturer codes.
• Package marking: Packaging must indicate product name/size, safelight and storage/shipping conditions, manufacturer ID, batch or roll number, notch code, expiry/develop-before date and nominal dimensions (metric, smaller dimension first). Safelight-legible marking is recommended.
• Dimensional stability (Annex A): Dimensions can change with ageing and humidity; within warranty, dimensions measured at standard atmosphere should not deviate by more than 0.05 % beyond the specified tolerances.

Applications and users

• Film and sensitized-material manufacturers (cutting, quality control, packaging)
• Pre-press houses, graphic arts and commercial printers (material acceptance, handling)
• Scanner and image-setting equipment manufacturers (registration and feed design)
• Suppliers, procurement and QA teams requiring traceable compliance and consistent film sizes

Related standards

• ISO 3772:2000 - Rolls of sensitized material for the pre-press industry - Dimensions and related requirements
• ISO 6221:1996 - Determination of dimensional change for films and paper
• ISO 14535 - Room-light loading packages for scanner/image-setting rolls (to be published)

For claims of conformance use the exact phrase: "Complying with ISO 11312".

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard ISO 11312 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 42, Photography.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 11312:1993, Photography — Film dimensions —
Film for electronic scanner use) and ISO 6407:1992, Photography — Film dimensions — Graphic arts, featuring a
new emphasis on general cutting rules as opposed to listing all known sizes specifically. New definitions have been
added to assist the reader.
