Presses Remain the Key Attraction at drupa and in 2008 Printers will not be Disappointed

At previous drupas the potential benefits of networking through CIP3 and JDF has been discussed. At the next drupa, this potential will become reality, as each manufacturer has acquired experience with pilot installations and has the real data to prove that this is a more productive and efficient way of working. And gaps in the data are being filled as the impact of JDF spreads. Information from prepress to set ink ducts is now being joined by set up information about paper formats and grades provided by mills and paper merchants.
