Information Integration

"JDF is driving everything," says Schneider. As a measure of its importance in packaging, he notes the active efforts being taken by TLMI to educate its membership on JDF technology and benefits.

EFI itself is actively involved in JDF standards development through its standing as one of 14 CIP4 Partner Members. With this commitment to JDF technology, the company says it will provide JDF capabilities to its customers as upgrade options, and will ensure its systems both accept and output validated JDF. This will allow easy integration and use with other vendor's JDF-enabled products.
