About PPML
Personalized Print Markup Language (PPML) supports mass printing of individually relevant images and text specific to a recipient, enabling 1:1 “conversations” with customers. PPML is a widely supported, XML-based print language developed by PODi. It is an open, interoperable, device-independent standard that enables the widespread use of personalized print applications in high volumes. It supports a full range of on-demand printing, ranging from the office environment to high-speed production operations. To that end PPML inter-operates with CIP4’s Job Definition Format (JDF), which provides bi-directional job ticketing, tracking, and workflow optimization.
