Ghent PDF Output Suite 5 compliancy and instructions

The Ghent Workgroup offers a compliancy label program for vendor members who are compliant with the Ghent PDF Output Suite 5.

In order to get the compliancy label a vendor must

1. have published instructions for successful output with Ghent PDF Output Suite 5
2. have submitted a proof of a successful output of the file Ghent_PDF-Output-Test-V50_ALL_X4.pdf on their system(s).

The following vendors have already proven compliancy of their products with the Ghent PDF Output Suite 5.
In order to help setting up the parameters of your PDF workflow, we have asked our Vendor members that provide PDF workflow systems to create instructions for the successful output of the Ghent PDF Output Suite 5.0:

These settings should also be used to process other PDF/X-4 files.

These instructions were created by the vendors of these systems. The Ghent Workgroup could not test these instructions. In case of problems please contact your vendor.

Compliancy program

This compliancy program is open to applications in these areas:

• CTP workflows/RIP
• Digital printing DFE

Interested GWG vendor members can submit their application to one of the co-chairs of the Process Control Subcommitttee.

Disclaimer

This compliancy label only confirms that the vendor sent us one sample output with no failures. We cannot control which system nor which settings were used to process the pages.

The vendors are responsible to ensure that new versions of their solutions are also compliant.
