The open and semantic standard of print.
One meaning across every language of print.
GutenLex · Standard · CC BY 4.0 · REST API · MCP server · UCP capability
GutenLex is becoming the backbone technology of the print and graphic-arts industry — a new way of doing business. Machines, materials, methods and products become open building blocks in one shared structure — the Periodic Table of Print & Graphic Elements — one vocabulary, readable by people, systems, LLMs and AI agents.

Why join

One vocabulary, machine-readable

798 open terms under CC BY 4.0 — products, machines, materials and methods as building blocks. Query by meaning, not by SKU.

Live API + MCP server

REST for systems, MCP tools for LLMs and AI agents: search the Standard, read a product's options, validate a configuration. Callable today.

Verifiable identity built in

Every configuration resolves to one GutenLex fingerprint — hash for systems, QR for the camera, mark for the eye. Permanent, never retired.
