CIP3--Digitizing Prepress, Delivering Promise

CIP3 Syntax: In addition to the work that has been done to define semantics, the CIP3 committee has also debated the file format in which the information should be sent from one element of the print production process to another. Beyond specific needs (readability, structure, etc), it was found that only the prepress departments were actually using digital files. In press and postpress areas hardly any electronic communication was found.
