About PPML

Personalized Print Markup Language (PPML) is an XML-based industry standard print language developed by some of the world's leading manufacturers of print technology for the high-speed reproduction of reusable page content. It is an open, interoperable, device-independent standard that enables the widespread use of personalized print applications. Various vendors have created software applications that can generate PPML files.
