Marc Olin, president at Prograph, on strides toward the comprehensive adoption of electronic job ticketing in the printing industry.
"Electronic job ticketing, while a fairly young technology, promises to make large strides toward adoption within the printing industry this year.
"There are two basic approaches to electronic job ticketing currently being implemented within the printing industry today: In the prepress area, PJTF—the Portable Job Ticket Format developed by Adobe—is being implemented as part of a new PostScript Extreme standard; and PROSE, authored by the Graphic Communications Association, is being used by publication and catalog printers. A third standard for electronic ticketing, CIP3, deals with press, postpress and finishing instructions.
