3f8h.net / Stories: industry updates from electronic publishing

What’s currently moving in the publishing stack: vendor acquisitions, end-of-life announcements, licensing changes and their consequences for ongoing production. Plus occasional technical notes and tool observations we find worth flagging.

We track the vendors that make up our workflow stack: WoodWing, callas software, Enfocus, Extensis, Monotype, axaio, Insider Software, n8n. When something happens there with consequences for publishers, prepress operations or brand production, we put it in context, factually and without marketing sound.

Context, not press releases. Newer posts first.
