GRAPH EXPO 2006: Prepress & Software — Putting All of the Pieces Together

Moving Forward

Incremental advances were introduced in all of these areas, but there wasn’t any really big announcement that alters the big picture—at least not yet. The development that cut across the most exhibitors at Graph Expo was Adobe licensees previewing their plans for implementing the Adobe PDF Print Engine in the next release of workflow solutions. This represents a significant change in how files are processed under the hood, but it was Global Graphics’ off-site presentation on XPS (XML Paper Specification) that may have foreshadowed the next big thing.
