Applications to be a member or an observer should be addressed to Enfocus communications officer Saskia Desmet at saskia@enfocus.be.Enfocus terms its specifications PDF/X Plus, which it claims have the portability of a PDF and the reliability of TIFF/IT P1.
“PDF/X Plus offers the best of both worlds,” said Enfocus sales and marketing director Patrick Van Dam.
Enfocus has developed a pass4press profile for Instant PDF, allowing out-of-the-box creation of pass4press-compatible files.
The profile is based on Certified PDF, which is also used by Agfa, Heidelberg and Fuji.
Instant PDF costs £199 and is available from Xchange International.
