Overview

Join us for a 1-day program that covers all aspects of JDF, MIS and CIP4. Hosted by the CIP4 Education and Marketing Committee and Ryerson's School of Graphic Communications Management, this unique program will provide an introduction to JDF technology and identify the potential benefits for profitable and non-profitable printers. JDF is intended to enable the entire industry, including media, design, graphic arts, on demand and e-commerce companies to implement and work with different workflows through a common, standardized file format. This technology has huge potential - come to this  "JDF 101" seminar to understand the benefits and challenges of implementing JDF in your shop. This event was first held in 2007 and is back by popular demand.

Who should attend

This event is designed for small and medium-size printers, prepress users, workflow consultants, middle managers, senior management and technology implementers.
