Film Orientation

(2010,0040)

Film orientation.

Film Size ID

(2010,0050)

Film size identification.

Defined Terms:

24CMX30CM

A4

A3

Note

10INX14IN corresponds with 25.7CMX36.4CM, A4 corresponds with 210 x 297 millimeters, A3 corresponds with 297 x 420 millimeters

Magnification Type

(2010,0060)

Interpolation type by which the printer magnifies or decimates the image in order to fit the image in the image box on film.

Defined Terms:

REPLICATE

BILINEAR

CUBIC

NONE

Smoothing Type

(2010,0080)

Further specifies the type of the interpolation function. Values are defined in Conformance Statement. Only valid for Magnification Type (2010,0060) = CUBIC.

Border Density

(2010,0100)

Density of the film areas surrounding and between images on the film.

Defined Terms:

BLACK

WHITE

i where i represents the desired density in hundredths of OD (e.g., 150 corresponds with 1.5 OD).

Empty Image Density

(2010,0110)

Density of the image box area on the film that contains no image.

Defined Terms:

BLACK

WHITE

i where i represents the desired density in hundredths of OD (e.g., 150 corresponds with 1.5 OD).

Min Density

(2010,0120)

Minimum density of the images on the film, expressed in hundredths of OD. If Min Density is lower than minimum printer density than Min Density is set to minimum printer density.

Max Density

(2010,0130)

Maximum density of the images on the film, expressed in hundredths of OD. If Max Density is higher than maximum printer density than Max Density is set to maximum printer density.

Trim

(2010,0140)

Specifies whether a trim box shall be printed surrounding each image on the film.

Enumerated Values:

YES

NO

Configuration Information

(2010,0150)

Character string that contains either the ID of the printer configuration table that contains a set of values for implementation specific print parameters (e.g., perception LUT related parameters) or one or more configuration data values, encoded as characters. If there are multiple configuration data values encoded in the string, they shall be separated by backslashes. The definition of values shall be contained in the SCP's Conformance Statement.

Defined Terms:

CS000-CS999

Implementation specific curve type.

Note

It is recommended that for SCPs, CS000 represent the lowest contrast and CS999 the highest contrast levels available.

Illumination

(2010,015E)

Luminance of lightbox illuminating a piece of transmissive film, or for the case of reflective media, luminance obtainable from diffuse reflection of the illumination present. Expressed as L0, in candelas per square meter (cd/m2).

Reflected Ambient Light

(2010,0160)

For transmissive film, luminance contribution due to reflected ambient light. Expressed as La, in candelas per square meter (cd/m2).

Requested Resolution ID

(2020,0050)

Specifies the resolution at which images in this Film Box are to be printed.

Defined Terms:

STANDARD

Approximately 4k x 5k printable pixels on a 14 x 17 inch film

HIGH

Approximately twice the resolution of STANDARD.

ICC Profile

(0028,2000)

An ICC Profile encoding the transformation of device-dependent color stored pixel values into PCS-Values. See Section C.11.15.

Note

This is an Input Device Profile that describes the characteristics of the pixel data in the film box, not an Output Device Profile that might describe the characteristics of the Print SCP.


C.13.3.1 Image Display Format

C.13.3.1.1 Standard Image Display Format

The standard format subdivides a film into image boxes of equal size. Therefore, the film layout is fully symmetrical, i.e., the arrangement of image boxes on film is left-right and top-bottom symmetric.

Example : STANDARD\3,4

C.13.3.1.2 Row Symmetric Image Display Format

The row symmetric image display format subdivides a film into rows of image boxes of equal size. As a result, the layout is left-right symmetric, the associated symmetry line is vertical (V). There is no top-bottom symmetry.

Example : ROW\2,3

C.13.3.1.3 Column Symmetric Image Display Format

The column symmetric image display format subdivides a film into columns of image boxes of equal size. As a result, the layout is top-button symmetric, the associated symmetry line is horizontal (H). There is no left-right symmetry.

Example : COL\1,4
