The Print Competence Center has been established in close cooperation with Philips General Purchasing and Philips Design. It plays a key role in establishing a global commodity strategy for print and publishing of marketing and sales materials. The Philips Print Competence Center is a valuable link between the agencies and the printer, ensuring all graphical data is managed in a standardized fashion, culminating in predictable print results. Through standardized procedures the Philips Certified PDF files can be used with any print vendor at the lowest possible cost.
