New EFI Fiery DFEs for Xerox Versant Presses Showcase the Latest in Fiery Image Quality, Performance, and Productivity
April 13 2017 - 9:05AM
Electronics For Imaging, Inc. (Nasdaq:EFII) today announced the
availability of four new EFI™ Fiery® digital front ends (DFEs) for
the updated Xerox® Versant® family of digital presses.
The new Fiery DFEs feature the latest FS200 Pro system software
and innovative hardware platform, delivering proven Fiery
performance, outstanding color, industry-leading usability, and
seamless integration to EFI, Xerox and leading 3rd party workflow
solutions. The four Fiery DFE models include the new EX-P and EX
3100 Print Servers Powered by Fiery for the Xerox Versant 3100
Press, and the EX and EX-i 180 Print Servers Powered by Fiery for
the Xerox Versant 180 Press.
“We’re pleased to continue our strong partnership with EFI to
bring the most advanced digital front ends to the market,” said
Ragni Mehta, vice president and general manager, Cut Sheet
Business, Xerox. “The new Fiery servers, combined with the latest
in Xerox Versant Press technology, allow our customers to increase
shop productivity while delivering on their most urgent image
quality and color accuracy needs.”
Exclusive imaging technologyThe new Fiery
servers showcase the Xerox and Fiery-exclusive 10-bit, 1200 dpi
processing technology leveraged in the Fiery Ultra Smooth Gradients
feature. First available in the Xerox Versant 2100 and 80 Presses,
this technology goes beyond traditional 8-bit rendering to help
eliminate "stair stepped" gradient shades common in digital
printing of vector images. To the print service provider, these
technology advances mean higher print quality and more satisfied
customers.
New Fiery NX platformThese new Fiery servers1
utilize the new Fiery NX hardware platform, delivering unparalleled
performance along with a sleek, modern design for better usability
and higher operational efficiency.
Operators can use Fiery QuickTouch™ software through a built-in
touchscreen display on the server to get faster views of job status
information and easily perform key device management functions.
With just a tap, the touchscreen display gives operators easy
access to intuitive system installation, backup and restore
functions as well as to system diagnostics information.
The NX servers are housed in the new Fiery NX Station GL, a
cutting-edge, ergonomic work environment for customers who need a
highly efficient and comfortable workspace. The NX Station GL’s
compact design boasts a 20% smaller footprint than previous Fiery
work stations. Features such as a large work area, wireless
keyboard and mouse, sliding server shelf, and storage compartments
help improve operator productivity.
Enhanced Fiery HyperRIPThe new EX-P 3100 Print
Server enables users to print more jobs in the shortest possible
time for maximum engine utilization and performance. The server's
enhanced HyperRIP mode for parallel processing of up to four print
jobs 55% faster than servers without HyperRIP. Plus, the server's
new Rush RIP mode opens up a fifth RIP to process rush jobs when
all four main parallel processors are busy.
Industry-leading integrationThe Fiery servers1
for the Xerox Versant Presses also benefit from the latest version
of EFI’s JDF-certified Fiery technology, which can connect Xerox
Versant Press operations into efficient, plant-wide workflows to
simplify and improve overall business management. Seamless
integration to EFI Productivity Suites and web-to-print products,
Xerox FreeFlow® Workflow Collection, and leading prepress workflow
solutions – including Kodak PRINERGY, Heidelberg Prinect and Agfa
Apogee – provide increased shop automation and productivity.
“The Fiery DFEs launching today for the new Xerox Versant
Presses demonstrate the latest advancements in digital production
color technology,” said John Henze, vice president of marketing,
EFI Fiery. “Xerox users can maximize their press’ capabilities
with a ‘no compromise’ product that allows them to grow their
businesses and meet the highest production demands.”
The new Fiery servers are immediately available from Xerox or
authorized Xerox resellers. For more information about EFI Fiery
