AFPDS: the best format

Hi everyone!

I would like to share some info.

I'm working in eBilling company (www.ebilling.it), a service provider who
produce about 230 Million AFP documents (= 230 x 6 Million pages!) per year.

Our spoolfile are ripped/printed by IBM/Ocè/Scitex high-speed laser/inkjet
printers.

The best format for the industry (standard the facto) is AFPDS file (all
resources are embedded: Formdef, pagedef, pagesegment, codepages, fonts,
...), called also MODCA.

Usually is better to use raster (PSEG) instead of complexc vector objects
(e.g. BCOCA) to maximize ripping speed and compatibility.
In the last years major commercial formatters don't create OVERLAY anymore,
but only PSEG again.
The best font format is raster (X0+C0) to maximize ripping speed and
compatibility.

We have all afp low level debugging tools, viewers and printers so I will be
glad to work for the community if you like.

We can plan to build a dedicated AFP team to maximize features for the
industry. Our company is interested to use FOP for the business too.

I will be available to arrange a meeting in our labs here in Modena (ITALY)
;-)

Also I can send you a sample AFP spoolfile which really represents the
"state of the art" about speed and compatibility. We print it with all
printers in Europe.

Thanks
Davide
