GRAPH EXPO & CONVERTING EXPO 2003--Prepress and Digital Printin

The group press release offers what could pass for a mission statement: "Increased efficiencies through automation, integration and cross-vendor interoperability is the main goal of Networked Graphic Production. This is made possible through the definition of a standardized set of NGP interfaces, based on the JDF standard. By adopting this JDF interface, each of the NGP partner solutions are able to communicate with one another, thereby creating an NGP family of plug-and-play solutions that can be combined together to provide a seamless flow of job and production data across the entire production process."
