PPA to discuss its standard at Magazines 05

The PPA will be providing an update on the status of its fledgling digital photography standard pic4press at next months Magazines 2005.

According to senior executive of production technology and environment Rose Benjamin, since its launch at last November's production conference "there has been a massive interest" with the printed brochure on the format being reprinted three times to meet demand.

Cond Nast's Jonathon Moore will present a case study on the publisher's work with the format and an update on best practice for digital imagery.

"We will try to progress this initiative as we have for pass4press," said Benjamin.

There will also be a session on what benefits JDF brings to publishers hosted by St Ives technical director John Charnock and Applecart Solutions managing director Dominic Duffy.

The production stream will also include a session on the environment including a keynote speech by botanist David Bellamy and sessions on responsibility and forestry certification schemes.
