Fewer touches. Greater productivity.Now, it’s possible to connect all of your systems—ordering, MIS, prepress, printing, finishing and distribution—so that jobs can move through your operation in a
““touchless” workflow. This end-to-end efficiency is enabled through the JDF-compliant connectivity of FreeFlow® Web Services.
JDF (Job Definition Format) is an XML-based, open industry standard that describes a job from conception through delivery. In fact, JDF data can be attached to a document throughout its production life, enabling a seamless exchange of information between devices and systems.
A JDF job ticket, defined upfront by the operator, can be used to specify all or part of the workflow for a particular job. It enables a common workflow with common job tickets—even in a mixed-vendor environment.
Plus, a JDF workflow protects your future investments, assuring that you’ll be able to integrate new products based on this common standard.
JDF provides the standard; FreeFlow Web Services makes it sing.
