A Vision for Managing and Moving Digital Assets

JDF is the über application and file specification for capturing and communicating print manufacturing data. CIP4 is the organization writing and publishing the code, which is now some 700 pages long. The group's objective is to compile a dictionary of graphical production terms and data, and to define how those terms are to be universally expressed and shared. In essence they are creating a new language for information and electronic instructions in the printing world.
