CIP3--Enabling the Digital Journey

CIP3 Q&A With Harlequin's Andrew Masia

Andrew Masia is director of product marketing, Harlequin Digital Printing and Publishing

Q: Why has Harlequin been an ardent supporter of CIP3?

A: Harlequin has always supported industry standards and open systems. CIP3 is important in this regard because it provides a language that enables the integration of press and finishing operations with the wide variety of automated prepress systems represented by Harlequin's 50 OEMs. Because this integration depends on the ability of hardware and software from many different vendors to work together, industry standard languages, interfaces and protocols are critical.
