Sense and nonsense of standardization in Print

The Ghent Workgroup has been around since 2001, and it has been working around standardisation for all of that time.

  • Where did the group come from?
  • And is it still relevant after all of this time?
  • What are the challenges being worked on?
  • How can it push forward the graphic arts industry?

Talking about standardisation will be David van Driessche, Executive Director of the Ghent Workgroup and member of the group since its origin.
