• If you are in charge of a design group and you'd like to make sure that every layout artist
working on a particular project (such as a promotional campaign) uses the exact same
Resources, you might want to create a Job Jackets file and Job Ticket template containing
those Resources, and have all of the layout artists share that Job Jackets file.
• If you are an output provider and you have a particular press with particular requirements,
you might create a Job Jackets file that captures that press's requirements for your customers
(and thus helps them to avoid exceeding those requirements). You might even be able to
download a Job Jackets file containing a press's requirements from the press manufacturer.
