What is JDF?
Adoption of JDF as a control mechanism will help printers and plate makers to minimize the expense associated with errors making their way through the production process.
The Harlequin PLUS Server RIP (v8.0) is JDF-enabled and meets the needs of both large print sites with formal JDF workflow requirements and those that are looking to improve efficiency by adopting ad-hoc JDF workflows. A supremely flexible JDF solution, the JDF-enabled Harlequin RIP can be integrated into a full range of workflows, from the simplest entry-level set-up to the most powerful and sophisticated system.
Look at the advantages of JDF:
- Machine-readable job ticket saves time and allows faster turn-round
- Standardized formatting so that software and equipment from a wide variety of vendors can be controlled and configured
- It's digital, so data can be shared quickly between multiple readers
- Automatic transmission and updating of the job ticket means that more data can be recorded more easily
- Transcription errors are avoided
