An international leader in digital document management and delivery and one of the leading members of the AFP Consortium (AFPC) today endorsed the announcement of a new version of the Advanced Function Presentation (AFP) industry standard. The AFPC was established to develop, define and promote the AFP architecture as the best-in-class data stream for high volume variable-data printing with seamless interoperability of AFP products from the various AFPC members. A common level of functionality and interoperability of systems was one of the main reasons why the new AFP IS/3 standard has been introduced. The new IS/3 interchange set delivers cost-efficiency savings and provides interoperability in multi-vendor environments. It is implemented and fully supported by a full-color continuous feed inkjet portfolio that leads the market and includes the Océ JetStream family and the Océ ColorStream 3500, the latest Océ PRISMAproduction Server – Océ's state-of-the-art output- and workflow management system – as well as select Canon imagePRESS and imageRUNNER ADVANCE systems. Customers can be sure that print jobs generated with PRISMAproduction Server are fully IS/3 compliant and are correctly presented or printed on all IS/3 compliant systems.

Most transaction documents are sensitive or critical communications associated with financial, insurance, retail, utilities and healthcare institutions worldwide using AFP amounting to billions of mail pieces produced every month. The new IS/3 enhances the productivity in today's complex production printing environments, while providing support for the latest fonts, images and graphics.

Are you an Arial person? A Times New Roman? A Garamond? A Lucida Handwriting? So much of our communication is expressed in text these days that people become deeply attached to the typeface they use to type out their thoughts. Bold or unbold, serif or sans-serif — like the car you drive or the clothes you wear, your font expresses who you are ... and can go in and out of style.

"Type, like fashion and music, comes in and out of vogue," Simon Garfield, author of Just My Type, tells NPR's Audie Cornish. So what's in right now? "I think now script fonts are making a comeback," he says.

Fonts didn't always hold such a significant spot in the cultural imagination. Before personal computers, type looked largely the same. "Everything basically looked like the typewriter font," Garfield says. "It was a liberating thing in the '80s" when it became possible to manipulate fonts with the click of a mouse.
