Onyx Graphics Joins Initiative to Bring JDF Standards to Wide-Format Printing

About JDF
Initiated by Adobe Systems, Agfa, Heidelberg and manroland, JDF was handed over to CIP4 in 2004. While the initial focus was on sheet-fed offset and narrow-format digital print workflow, it expanded to encompass roll-fed systems, newspaper workflows, and packaging and label workflows. This new initiative aims to bring JDF to large format print providers to help them deliver new levels of efficiency and productivity. JDF provides a standard set of pre-defined data interface points between systems that connect workflow steps from creation, pre-press, production, finishing, and distribution to printing, archiving and reprinting of documents.
