The International Organization for Standardization has adopted the graphic data exchange format (CxF), the most recent of which is ISO 17972-4:2018. The CxF standard defines a method for encoding data defining spot colors in XML. Extensible Markup Language (XML) is used to format data so that it is human and computer readable, simple, and self-documenting. As of Version 7.3, Wasatch SoftRIP can import Spot Color Characterization Data that is formatted in accord with CxF. This includes PANTONE® color libraries.
