E-Commerce Firms, CMS Manufacturers, NPES Push JDF Standard

The PrintTalk group has selected NPES The Association for Suppliers of Printing, Publishing and Converting Technologies to organize the group's activity and develop by-laws and formalized operational procedures.

PrintTalk will support use of the proposed Job Definition Format (JDF) standard and Commercial eXtensible Markup Language (cXML). As part of the group's activities, it will seek to have its work recognized as an implementation of the JDF standard. The interface specification will be distributed free of any fees or royalties.
