The new business will combine the existing Color Proofing, with a number of new business initiatives designed to build upon the company’s core colour competencies.

The Color Communication business includes strengths in the areas of colour management, digital workflow, inkjet components, systems integration, colour films, data encryption, colour analysis, and knowledge intensity.

And finally . . . here’s a mind-numbing bunch of acronyms from Andy McCourt used to describe the industry workflow in 2010 when nouns and adjectives have disappeared completely.

Printers are sent, via ADSL, a series of PDFs from DTP, convert them to CIP and JDF where the JMF relays information back to the MIS which sends the information back in XML as a JMF or PPF so that output to CTP or POD can be achieved, taking care that the ICC, that is the CMS founded on CIE, is OK with the 3DAP before proofing on the DOD IJP, then passing through the RIP to the aforesaid CTP, thence to the SM105XL or POD, noting the presence of any VDP and making sure you don’t offend the ALP, ACT or ABC because all of your production in 2010 will be JIT (i.e. PDQ), and waste will be monitored by the EPA using EIS and this all adds up to TQM providing your CRM and ERP are AOK; and of course this means . . .GST!
