CIP4, GATF Plan JDF Certification

Under terms of the deal, GATF will cooperate with CIP4's interoperability and other working groups to develop certification testing methods for different classes of printing and prepress software, systems and equipment.

"To specify exactly what individual classes of devices need to do with JDF, CIP4 members are developing Interoperability Conformance Specifications (ICS) that will provide the standard for individual classes of devices," notes James Harvey, CIP4 executive director.
