ISO DIS 18948

Description / Abstract: This document specifies test methods to assess the permanence and durability of photo books, including cover and pages.

This International Standard is applicable to photo books which contain reflection colour prints made with colour hardcopy materials of all types, including those from either traditional analogue printing or modern digital printing processes. The same performance test methods shall apply, regardless of the printing process. Because of the large number of combinations of sizes, cover materials, binding options and printing processes testing of all possible combinations is not within the scope of this document
