The Job Definition Format (JDF) is a technical standard being developed by the CIP4 organization. The purpose of the standard is to facilitate interaction between different systems in a printing or print-related workflow. PRISMAdirect offers an interface based on the JDF standard which allows communication with external JDF-enabled software components.
The CIP4 JDF specification is a very extensive standard covering all areas in the life cycle of a print job, from preflight to image rendering to finishing and packaging. Océ has developed a proprietary standard for the JDF ticket which is a subset of the CIP4 description.
PRISMAdirect defines a proprietary job ticket with a set of ticket settings that can be configured and extended by the user. The user must be able to submit a job to PRISMAdirect via JMF messages by providing a JDF ticket and the required data files. A mapping file is used to construct a valid PRISMAdirect ticket with the values taken from the JDF ticket.
