The Canon imagePRESS C800 and C700 presses will be the first to use the new Fiery FS150 Pro platform digital front ends (DFEs) for cut-sheet digital production systems.
FS150 Pro offers faster processing, unsurpassed image quality and even easier to use automated workflows and the new imagePRESS Server F200 and G100 will be built on EFI’s Fiery FS150 Pro platform for cut-sheet digital production systems.
The platform includes a new greyscale composite overprint feature that ensures correct monochrome printing of overprints, drop shadows and transparencies.
‘The EFI Fiery FS150 platform’s advanced, industry-leading performance helps Canon imagePRESS C800 and C700 users offer extremely high quality while driving productivity and profits,’ said Georg Hollenbach, managing director, EFI Germany. ‘We are excited to continue our long partnership with Canon to launch the first DFE product based on our new platform.’
According to the company the new servers include the latest version of the JDF-certified Fiery technology that can connect users’ operations into efficient, plant-wide management workflows to simplify and improve overall business management.
Seamless integration to MIS and Web-to-Print products, Océ Prisma workflow from Canon, and leading prepress workflow solutions – including Kodak Prinergy, Heidelberg Prinect and Agfa :Apogee – provide increased shop automation and productivity.
‘Enhancing productivity and quality, eliminating errors and streamlining workflows are all key business requirements for Canon customers. Through the powerful combination of the new imagePRESS C800 and C700 digital colour presses and the imagePRESS Server F200 and G100, our customers will realise these benefits as well as the opportunity to introduce new services and revenue streams,’ said Mark Lawn, European & UK marketing director, professional print solutions, Canon Europe.
The new Fiery DFEs for the Canon imagePRESS C700 and C800 are driven by the Fiery Command WorkStation job management interface that lets users manage all Fiery Driven printers locally or remotely from a single place.
The Fiery FS150 Pro was launched last week. Read more here.
