Fiery will use Drupa to introduce its newest AI and automation capabilities for ink management, prepress and job preparation. AI-driven features include new Fiery InkWise for ink stock management and a new intelligent job ticketing assistant.
Fiery InkWise addresses the complexities of manual ink management by introducing an AI-powered assistant that predicts when and how much ink should be ordered. The new AI-driven job ticketing feature analyses jobs and automatically prepares job tickets, covering media selection, prepress processes, finishing, and more.
“We are continuously exploring how AI technology can make Fiery workflows as easy as interacting with a virtual assistant. At Drupa, we are excited to demonstrate AI’s ability to define print settings based on file content and propose tasks prior to ticket creation. Leveraging AI in the job ticketing process helps boost productivity, enabling operators of all skill levels to quickly process a variety of print jobs,” said Toby Weiss, Fiery’s CEO.
At the show, Fiery will preview the upcoming release of Fiery JobFlow prepress workflow software that intelligently automates job preparation steps to ensure files are print-ready with minimal manual intervention. It will demonstrate how the system uses AI to improve image resolution, simplify preflight reports and enable easy printing by scanning a barcode, or using voice commands on the phone.
Drupa visitors will also be able to see how Fiery DFEs, including the latest Fiery FS600 Pro platform and Fiery XF 8, offer enhanced automation, colour, and job processing tools, and that when combined with Fiery Command WorkStation, provide PSPs with one central job management solution for all printer brands and models. Attendees will be able to see Fiery ColorGuard, a cloud-based colour verification tool that now includes a spot colour verification feature.
