PODi Expands PPML Certification, and Announces Companies that have Achieved It

• Bitstream Pageflex, version 5.1

• GMC Software PrintNet Designer, version 5.3

• XMPie PersonalEffect, version 4.0.3

“The PODi PPML Certification Program provides a first-of-its-kind testing and certification of PPML compliance,” said James Mekis, PODi’s Director of Technology. “Service Providers have told us that they want to be able to choose best-in-class solutions for both the software they use to generate VDP marketing campaigns, and the devices used to print them, and they want them to work together even though they often come from different manufacturers. For variable marketing campaigns, PPML/GA is the high-performance open standard, and this certification program provides the end-to-end testing that has already improved multiple products.”
