EFI has launched its newest Fiery platform for cut-sheet digital production systems. The Fiery FS150 Pro digital front end (DFE) offers faster processing, unsurpassed image quality, seamless MIS/ERP integration and even easier to use automated workflows, according to the company.
It includes Fiery HyperRIP, which simultaneously processes a print job on four processor cores, making it up to 55% faster than Fiery-driven presses without HyperRIP, and a new grayscale composite overprint feature that ensures correct monochrome printing of overprints, drop shadows and transparencies.
Fiery ImageViewer, an application that allows users to view full resolution raster data in real time and adjust the final raster output before printing, now includes the ability to save last-minute colour adjustments so that future jobs that require the same type of colour correction can be produced faster.
The latest version of Fiery Command WorkStation software included with the Fiery FS150 Pro DFE includes server-based automated workflows that are easy for system administrators to set up and deploy, allowing operators to produce jobs in fewer clicks and with reduced errors.
Fiery FS150 Pro also integrates seamlessly with EFI’s MIS/ERP software, and e-commerce, web to print and scheduling tools.
Further features include:
Support for APPE 3.0, Adobe’s latest PDF-native rendering platform. Fiery JobMaster, an advanced make-ready solution The free Fiery Go app for iPhones and iPads An expanded colour library for brand colour matching, including the 84 new colours recently issued in the Pantone Plus Series Fiery Integration Manager for simpler workflow integration through JDF configuration settings Fiery API support for development of custom applications and tools to meet specific user needs.
EFI said that the first DFEs based on the Fiery FS150 Pro system platform will be available starting from June 2014.
