EFI has released two new Fiery DFE products – the ImagePress Server N500 and ImagePress Server P400 – to support the new Canon V900 series of digital presses.
The new technology aims to give commercial printing businesses and in-plant production facilities the power to automate prepress functions and reduce the long prep times print professionals face when producing high-quality colour work.
The first of the new Fiery DFEs, the Canon ImagePress Server P400, provides in-plant facilities and light to mid volume production print shops with easy-to-use job management tools to automate basic workflows.
The second, the Canon ImagePress Server N500, supports demanding production environments with high-power, high-value prepress automation capabilities that maximise what print organisations can do with their production equipment.
John Henze, vice president of sales and marketing at EFI Fiery, said, ‘Our new DFE platforms offer high processing speeds and increased capabilities. These are innovative solutions that can help save time and reduce costs while outputting excellent quality. Today’s market is highly competitive and strained by labour issues. The Fiery DFEs can help in-plants and print shops operate at their peak and keep up with market demands.’
New colour management and zero-touch recalibration features for the ImagePress Server P400 and N500 DFEs feature ‘set-and-forget’ automation tools so operators with little colour management knowledge can produce accurate and consistent colour.
Creating a custom profile and calibration set for new media requires no operator decision making, while the DFE automatically executes recalibration schedules to help maintain colour consistency without complex processes or deep operator training.
