EFI Fiery joins hands with Ghent on PDF/X-4 print certification

Electronics For Imaging (EFI), Inc has launched a new service that makes it easy for PSPs (print service providers) to achieve Ghent PDF Output Suite 5.0 Conformance Certification for digital printers using EFI Fiery digital front end (DFE) print servers. The new certification offering uses the proven and trusted PDF test suite from the Ghent Workgroup (GWG), an international organisation of graphic arts users, associations and developers committed to building best practices for publishing and packaging workflows.

With the new certification service, print and packaging service providers can easily prove they can print PDF files correctly, and better promote themselves as a partner of choice to existing and potential customers. Once certified, they receive a digital badge to show their PDF output workflow is compliant with the PDF/X-4 standard (ISO 15930-7:2010) for use on their website and for other marketing purposes. Certified companies also have their name and location displayed on the international Ghent Workgroup site.
