DIGITAL digest March 2005

As part of the organization's ongoing activities, Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG recently hosted the seventh CIP4 Interoperability (IOP) conference at the Print Media Academy in Heidelberg, Germany. A total of 85 representatives from more than 30 international companies participated in the event.

According to CIP4, a key difference in this round of testing was the high level of detail involved when verifying the exchanged information. Participants also reached an agreement on enhancements for the next update, JDF version 1.3, which will extend functions for package printing and security when exchanging JDF data online.
