GRAPH EXPO® Hosts First-ever “XPS Land Showcase’ On New Document Format

Like Adobe’s well-known PDF, the XPS format touts portability and fixed-page features-that is, a file output in XPS can be accessed later, and looks the same on any screen or printed to any device. The XML-based file format also features its own internal print ticket to which document creators can input printing specifications. Because XPS comes bundled with Microsoft’s popular new Vista operating system, pundits predict its ultimate ubiquity in the corporate office environment as well as the graphic communications market.
