New PODi Report Confirms PPML Interoperability by Leading Digital Print Vendors

Interoperability is the ability of printing systems from a number of manufacturers to produce, consume and print a properly configured PPML data stream without device-dependent customization. A “PPML Producer” is a software program that generates a PPML dataset (file), identifying each static, variable & re-usable object within. An image to be printed multiple times need only appear once in the PPML dataset. A “PPML Consumer” is a digital printing device that can consume the PPML dataset and print the results at much higher speed than alternatives.
