CIP4 is an international, world wide operating
standards body located in Switzerland. The purpose
of the association is to encourage computer based
integration of all processes that have to be considered
in the graphic arts industry, in particular the
specification of standards. The International
Cooperation for the Integration of Processes
in Prepress, Press and Postpress
(CIP4) is the successor of CIP3, which started
in 1995 as a joint initiative of vendors for the
graphical arts industry. Since then CIP3 has developed
the Print Production Format which is today implemented
in many applications. Even in the future CIP4
is going to extend its activities and the number
of different types of members. CIP4 is about to
develop and promote vendor independent standards
for the graphic arts industry, such as the new
Job Definition Format. |
