Muller Martini And Ultimate Offer JDF Connectivity For Finishing Equipment
“Many printers have been prevented from creating a CIP4 standardized workflow to their bindery due to the fact that their have been few solutions that are capable of generating a Job Definition Format (JDF) file that includes bindery specifications,” explains Peter Doyle,
Corporate Integration and Work Flow Manager at Muller Martini. “The good news for printers desiring to automate their post press workflow is that Ultimate Technographics has created a solution that allows printers to overcome this obstacle. Their imposition software can now be used to write JDF files that include bindery specifications for cutting, folding, and saddle stitching. There is no extra data entry to create these files. The specifications entered in their software during the pre-press pagination process—trim size, lap, head trim, bleeds, etc. are easily exported in the CIP4 standardized Job Definition Format, creating a JDF file that can be used on our Muller Martini saddle stitchers.
