Seven up for a standard industry

Colour Standards, the group that encourages international ISO in the Australian market, has added seven new certified printers to its honour roll.
Luke Wooldridge (pictured), chairman of TC 130 Australia says it does not matter who has certified the local printers. All printers who have gone to the effort and expense will be recognised.

“This is the first time we have updated the certified printer list since it was launched four months ago. We will refresh the list every quarter on our website to promote Australian printers who have gone to the effort of achieving print standards.

“The list allows the industry to view accredited printers in one space, rather than searching multiple qualifier sites like Fogra or Ugra,” he says.

New printers added to the certified printers list include:

• Digital Press, Surrey Hills NSW
• World Wide Crystal Print, Cannington WA
• Blueprint, Port Melbourne VIC
• IBS Design Resources, Nerang QLD
• Five Star Print, Netley SA
• Hannapak, North Richmond NSW
• Access Print Solutions, Granville NSW

David Crowther, director of Colour Graphic Services says the list is quite unique in that it both advertises and recognises printers who have passed their certification.

“It shows that they have passed a certified method, with procedures and process control mechanisms to maintain and keep printing at the AS/ISO 12647 standard.”
