This page contains tools and libraries mainly for software developers. However, some tools are quite useful for people, who just like to understand CIP4's job ticket a bit better. The JDFEditor would be such an example. This software allows you to view and edit JDF and XJDF files.
The CIP4 organization is proud to introduce our latest Interoperability Conformance Specification [ICS] relating to automation and integration in commercial print enterprises. This ICS focuses upon the relationship and communication between real-time quality control measurement/monitoring in a PSP, an administrative MIS system for the a JDF job, and the Customer.
JDF we developed as an interface between a disparaging assemblage of software and hardware solutions in a standardized manner. Until JDF, most MIS integrations required custom interfaces and conversion tools. JDF simplifies that integration, and brings numerous benefits from an automation perspective.
