Conclusion

• The future of JDF is exciting, but at the same
  time it is forcing developers of all kinds of
  systems in the printing industry to work
  together. Our objective is to get everyone to
  work closer with imposition software, because it
  is the key control point in print production and
  one of the keys for real Computer Integrated
  Manufacturing.
• Ultimate Technographics as a founding member of
  the CIP3 committee is definitely moving ahead by
  creating products that make sense in a real world
  printing environment.
• Ultimates CEO, David Watson has been elected to
  the CIP4 Advisory Board for a two year term
  commencing at Graph Expo 2004.
