Hiflex is a member of CIP4
Hiflex® GmbH has been a full member
of the CIP4 consortium (successor to CIP3) since January 2002. CIP4 is an international body and the name
stands for “Cooperation for the Integration of Processes in Prepress, Press and Postpress”.
The integration of these processes is technologically based on the Job Definition Format (JDF) developed
by CIP4. Hiflex sees JDF as the key technologie for your future production.

About the Job Definition Format:
JDF is an industry standard designed to simplify information exchange between different applications and
systems in and around the Graphic Arts industry. JDF builds on and extends beyond pre-existing partial
solutions, such as CIP3's Print Production Format (PPF) and Adobe Systems' Portable Job Ticket Format (PJTF).
It also enables the integration of commercial and planning applications into the technical workflow.
JDF joins the growing number of standards based on XML, ensuring maximum possible portability between
different platforms and ready interaction with Internet-based systems. For more information click here.

CIP4 brings together vendors, consultants and end-users in the print communications, Graphic Arts industry
and associated sectors, covering a variety of equipment, software, peripherals, and processes. Members
