Conclusion The future of JDF is exciting, but at the same time it is forcing developers of all kinds of systems in the printing industry to work together. Our objective is to get everyone to work closer with imposition software, because it is the key control point in print production and one of the keys for real Computer Integrated Manufacturing. Ultimate Technographics as a founding member of the CIP3 committee is definitely moving ahead by creating products that make sense in a real world printing environment. Ultimate’s CEO, David Watson has been elected to the CIP4 Advisory Board for a two year term commencing at Graph Expo Visit us at booth # 5466
