CIP4 Announces Version 1.3 of JDF Now Available

Both the Java and the C++ JDF Application Program Interfaces (API) have been updated to JDF 1.3, as have the JDF Editor and the CheckJDF server; all of which CIP4 provides as a service to the industry.

"JDF 1.3 provides functionality for large and important segments of the printing industry," said Martin Bailey of Global Graphics and CEO of CIP4. "It's great to see both the new version of the specification and the software development tools that support JDF released concurrently, an unintentional benefit of our new IP policy. The ongoing development of JDF is intense. There are many people involved with JDF's development and they all deserve praise and thanks for all the work that went into this edition of JDF."
