CIP4 and Ryerson Announce JDF 101 Education Event

TORONTO, Ontario—The International Cooperation for the Integration of Processes in Prepress, Press and Postpress (CIP4) organization and Ryerson University announced a free “JDF Education Event” to be held at Ryerson University in Toronto on Tuesday, Feb. 19, 2008.

This one-day program will covers all aspects of print process automation, CIP4 and the Job Definition Format (JDF), and is hosted by Ryerson University’s School of Graphic Communications Management. This JDF 101 Education Event was “sold out” in 2007, and is back by popular demand. “This year a room full of printers and print buyers came and learned a lot about JDF and saw a live demonstration staged by Ryerson with their equipment,” said CIP4 executive director James Harvey, “but for me the best part was the real-world questions they brought to the event and the meaningful discussions that their questions sparked. Printers who strive to maximize production efficiency, but have questions and find it difficult to get answers should not miss the 2008 event.” Speakers will identify the benefits of JDF-enabled process automation experienced by small and medium sized commercial offset and digital printers, and will provide an introduction to how JDF works and its function in the modern printing plant.
