Additional guidelines, best practices and profiles will further simplify the process of creating and checking print data and also ensure more efficient and reliable data exchange." Erwin Danis, the chairman of GWG, commented: "We would be hard-pressed to overstate the many benefits we and the industry will derive from Heidelberg's membership in the Ghent PDF Workgroup.
Few companies bring the breadth of industry understanding and resources to graphic arts that Heidelberg brings.
We are confident that even greater portions of the graphic arts community, worldwide, will review and adopt GWG recommendations and specifications once they become aware of Heidelberg's participation." Heidelberg develops, manufactures and markets workflow solutions that are based on open standards, such as JDF (to describe print jobs), PDF and PDF/X.
Checking documents for completeness and preparing them for printing is a core element of the Prinect workflow from Heidelberg.
