The response at Drupa 2004 to the JDF guide produced by MIS supplier OCSL has led to the company producing a second version.

The response at Drupa 2004 to the JDF guide produced by MIS supplier OCSL has led to the company producing a second version.

Like the first guide, the new updated version explains what JDF is all about, its role in the graphic arts industry and the benefits it can bring to businesses.

Henny van Esch, international director of OCSL, who is also chairman of the CIP4 MIS working group and industry expert on the subject, wrote the 24-page A5 guide.

The booklet includes quotes from leading industry players and clarifies many issues surrounding the technology, how it fits into the industry and how it can be used in the future.

It also explains the link between JDF and MIS and as well as covering key terminology.

Group managing director of OCSL Nicola Bisset plans to have the guide updated regularly, as a direct result of what she described as the overwhelming number of requests for the original version.

"The number of people downloading the book was quite staggering.

There is obviously a great need for something that clearly explains JDF and we believe that we cater for that need with the guide," she said.

The JDF booklet can be downloaded free from the OCSL website.
