    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Describes a media-independent means for prepress electronic data exchange using a tag image file format.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This International Standard specifies a media-independent means for prepress electronic data exchange using a tag image file format. This International Standard defines image file formats for encoding colour continuous-tone picture images, colour line-art images, high-resolution continuous-tone images, monochrome continuous-tone picture images, binary picture images, binary line-art images, screened data, and images of composite final pages.
