PPML is a high-performance, interoperable, device-independent XML printing standard that enables the widespread use of personalized print in high volumes at high speeds. PPML has been cooperatively developed as an open standard that genuinely changes the performance and economics of personalized printing.

The recent launch of PPML3.0 enables in-RIP transparency flattening, dramatically raising digital print speeds for VDP direct marketing campaigns.

CheckPPML is an easy-to-use tool that enables viewing and validation of properly formed PPML/GA files. CheckPPML installs on Macs (OSX 10.4.9) as well as PC (XP & Vista). CheckPPML is the reference PPML Consumer that supports PPML/GA versions 1.5, 2.1 and 2.2, and is used by manufacturers to certify their PPML producing & consuming (printing) devices.

CheckPPML generates the same output pages (as PDF) that a PPML Certified printing device will print. It's ideal for small projects with less than 100 pages. For unlimited number of pages and increased speed of up to 20 times, CheckPPML_Pro is recommended.
