March 15, 2006 (Amsterdam) John Ingraham of BlickTek gave a presentation entitled Impact of MicroSoft XPS on InkJet and Print Market (PDF) (click on the link to see the presentation), at the 29th Global Inkjet and Thermal Printing Conference in Amsterdam. Microsoft XPS, the new document and print format and print workflow in Microsoft Vista, will provide significant improvements with regards to image quality and color fidelity over the existing GDI printer pipeline. XPS also appears to be a strategic initiative by MicroSoft to compete against Adobe and PDF. Printer, RIP and Software manufacturers will need to make changes to their existing applications and drivers in order to take advantage of XPS print and color capabilities.
