IDEAlliance GUIDELINES

The IDEAlliance Guidelines and Specifications 2007 is a compilation of industry guidelines and specifications for the graphic arts. SWOP® 2007 (11th Edition), GRACoL® 2007 (7th Edition), The G7TM Process (1st Edition) and DISCTM 2007 (2nd Edition) are all included in this single resource.
