Electronics for Imaging, Inc. released its newest-version EFI Fiery XB digital front end (DFE) platform for ultra-high-speed production inkjet presses. The Fiery DFE meets requirements for performance, color and imaging, including advanced variable-data production printing, at speeds of up to 13,000 pages per minute – or the data equivalent of two streaming movies each second.
IPDS support and JDF integration for high-performance production
The Fiery XB platform used for the new DFE complies with native intelligent production data stream (IPDS) workflows and is certified IS/3 compliant, delivering the performance, functionality and accuracy required for high-volume transactional applications. As one of the most flexible DFEs in the production inkjet market, the Fiery XB DFE platform also consumes all variable data formats and languages, including PDF and PDF/VT.
Comprehensive color management
The EFI Fiery DFE provides exceptional color out of the box, as well as advanced tools for fine tuning. This means users can:
The Fiery DFE’s color accuracy helps drive new applications, and is enabling users to win new business serving corporations that need timely, high-volume, personalized documents with superior accuracy in client brand colors.
Inline color management on the DFE automatically corrects for any unwanted color shifts. As a result, users always get exceptional correction for color-sensitive graphics. For maximum flexibility, the Fiery DFE offers superior imaging accuracy on nearly all substrates, including coated/uncoated or treated/non-treated – from narrow-web continuous-feed, up to 1.8-meter boards and B1/B2 sheets. Plus, its color management capabilities extend to a wide variety of inks, including coated media compatible, extended gamut and MICR inks.
The DFE complements the Fiery cut-sheet DFE portfolio, the industry’s leading DFE technology, with over 25 years of outstanding innovation. Users enjoy the same consistent Fiery Command WorkStation job management interface, ensuring continuity across all Fiery Driven presses.
The Fiery DFE integrates with almost any existing workflow and prepress software – including EFI’s extensive management information systems/enterprise resource planning (MIS/ERP) and web-to-print products – using job definition format (JDF) integration. Customers can also integrate with customized workflows using the Fiery API application programming interface. This delivers a comprehensive, integrated workflow experience, tailored to meet specific needs.
A scalable, blade-based architecture keeps engines running at rated speeds to meet demanding production requirements, accommodating even the most complex jobs. Plus, industry-proven, automated tools for job layout streamline the job preparation process, whether it is imposition for streaming transactional jobs, or for commercial or packaging applications.
The newest-version EFI Fiery XB DFE technology drives new, ultra-high-speed inkjet presses from most leading digital press manufacturers, and can be purchased from those press manufacturers and/or their authorized resellers.
