For the first time, Fogra Research Institute for Media Technologies has certified a print shop for metal print based on ISO standard 12647-9. This certification has been available since the middle of this year.
Previously, metal printers had no individual way to demonstrate compliance with the standard. Therefore, the tests for paper-based printing conditions of ProcessStandard Offset (PSO) were used. Since June 2024, Fogra has ena-bled metal decorators to be certified in accordance with ISO 12647-9, which was specially developed for metal decorating.
Metaprint AS from Tallinn (Estonia) is the first print shop to demonstrate that it also meets the ISO 12647-9 requirements. Previously, the company had been regularly certified according to FOGRA39 for many years and later FOGRA51.
The new certification is based on ISO 12647-9 ”Graphic technology - Process control for the production of half-tone colour separations, proof and produc-tion prints – Part 9: Metal decoration printing processes using offset lithogra-phy”, published in 2021. Reference is made to the ”MPC1” printing condition, corresponding to printing on white-coated metal. With ”FOGRA60” and ”Metal Printing MPC1”, proven characterisation data and an ICC profile have been available since 2022.
