EFI has launched Fiery XF Version 5 digital front end and colour management workflow for wide- to superwide-format production and proofing. This new Fiery software version enables seamless workflow integration with EFI printers as well as with EFI MIS/ERP systems.
John Henze, vice president, Fiery marketing at EFI, said: “The new, customisable interface makes the system easier to use, as it can be tailored to meet each customer's exact production needs." The interface allows users to tailor Fiery XF to their specific tasks and skill set to reduce error rates.
One user, Ontario-based Category 5, has improved its overall operations using the software's Fiery-to-EFI MIS/ERP integration features.
Greg Priede, general manager, Category 5, said: “With the integration between the Vutek printer, Fiery front end and EFI MIS system, we see detailed job costing, and can calculate how long the printer actually ran versus how long the press operator took to complete the job. This allows us to address inefficiencies, reduce press down time and increase profit."
The modular nature of the software allows users to tailor the product to their current operation, paying only for the functionality they need now. More than 20 Fiery printer or software options allow additional capabilities to be built in as business needs evolve and budgets allow
