Videos und Tutorials

There are currently four entries in this section: The first video shows and explains the type of work done at an Interop face-to-face meeting. In the next, Dr. Rainer Prosi, CIP4's Chief Technical Officer, discusses CIP4 technologies of (X)JDF and their impact in the printing industry. The third entry is a link to Solimar Systems video interview about JDF. The last post is a link to the CIP4 expert training videos. It is a series of 13 videos that explains in detail the basic features of JDF and its applications.

 

 

 

 

Twice a year, CIP4 organizes Face-to-Face meetings: InterOps.

These InterOp meetings are organized worldwide and are split into two distinct phases, the technical interoperability testing phase and technical work group phase.
