CIP3 Comes Home

As DRUPA 2000 commences— May 18th to 31st in Dusseldorf, Germany—the global printing industry finds that this still-young study group is now more than 40 members strong and the specification of the PPF format can be downloaded free from the www.cip3.org Website.

With DRUPA 2000 as its backdrop, the study group—including, among others, Adobe, Agfa, Akiyama, Barco, Creo, Fujifilm, Gallus, Hagen, Hamada, Harlequin, Kolbus, Komori, MAN Roland, Mitsubishi, Ryobi, Sakurai, Scitex, Screen, Wohlenberg and Xerox—are working with Heidelberg in cooperation with the Fraunhofer Institute to make real the digitization of print production, first discussed with fervor in 1993.
