In this new era of digital color printing, opportunities abound for innovative ideas and improved processes. Digital Printing Solutions(DPS) has created the Vendor Alliance Program as a means to focus on these opportunities and channel them into productive solutions.

Our goal is to extend the DPS end-to-end solutions portfolio by building dynamic relationships with best-in-class third-party vendors. We offer a structured, systematic process to identify, engage and maintain relationships with our DPS Qualified Vendors.

The Vendor Alliance Program consists of a growing series of initiatives designed to provide ongoing interaction between DPS and third party solution providers:

• The Vendor Alliance Forum brings selected third-party vendors together with DPS's Advanced Development and Business Development resources
• The PPML/VDX Software Developers Program assists software developers who want to use the ANSI open-standard PPML/VDX for their variable data output
• The DPS Substrate Qualification Program enables paper manufacturers and merchants to influence substrate qualification activity and gain visibility for their products

• Data Transformation and Connectivity (integrating files before, during and after the printing process)
• Production Workflow Integration (linking content creation and variable data composition with other steps in the digital production workflow)
