Knut Olav Sunde: ISOM/2000 recommendations for four colour printing

---

The challenges

---

• To write a generic recommendation
  • Should not be hardware or software dependant.
  • Should regulate colors, screening and overprinting techniques in general
  • Should not exclude use of new technology suited for orienteering map reproduction - like laser printers
  
  
• Should not introduce a lower level of quality, therefore
  • 4-color offset printing is (still) recommended
  • Other printing devices can be used if the map legibility and colour appearance can be proven to be equal to or better than the result of offset printing
