The DISC working group is in the Digital Advertising and Production Workflow domain of IDEAlliance. With the participation of Integrity Graphics, it has developed a set of specifications for use by creative professionals (including photographers and illustrators) as a standard format prior to submission for publication. These specifications will allow for maximum reproduction print quality while expediting the production workflow. Using the DISC XML-based standards, publishers and photographers can be certain that submitted images meet the criteria for printed publications, thereby streamlining the workflow.
