Content of CIP4 specification

1. Content of the CIP3 PPF Specification (version 3.0 Jun-1998)

PPF is an extended format of the architecture in the Postscript format and supports Unicode. The traditional Postscript RIP does not fully interpret the CIP 3 format because it ignores parts that were not originally part of Postscript.

in conclusion

The printing industry has always been a highly-developed applied science. Now that the degree of computerization has been very thorough, it is indeed a major step forward to introduce the traditional, more human-oriented production methods into the direction of normalization, standardization and automation. I believe in the future. The development of printing technology is certainly more than that of high-tech advanced industries.
