EFI Fiery accelerates KM’s new C1085 and C1100

Kevin Kern, senior vice president, marketing, Konica Minolta, said, “Our relationship with EFI continues to put our solutions at the forefront of market-leading technology. The advanced EFI Fiery DFEs give us the ability to deliver new and continued value to our customers to ensure a seamless, integrated experience.”

According to a company spokesperson, the Fiery IC-310 DFE will bring accelerated production performance to the bizhub print engines with unique Fiery HyperRIP technology, which processes an individual job up to 40% faster than DFEs from other manufacturers by splitting pages to simultaneously process them with multiple processor cores, interpreters and rendering engines. The powerful hardware and feature set makes the IC-310 twice as fast compared to the IC-308.

John Henze, vice president, Fiery marketing, EFI, said, “Konica Minolta bizhub C1085 and C1100 users can use our advanced Fiery DFE technology to scale their businesses for the future so they are prepared for evolving customer demands in high-end digital printing.”

The new DFEs support all leading industry VDP standards, such as PDF/VT, VPS and the latest PPML 3.0 specifications. The robust JDF capabilities of these new systems will allow for seamless integration with Kodak Prinergy and other third-party prepress and workflow solutions, so that users can streamline their business operations.

According to the company spokesperson, the users can also reduce the touch points in their business and production processes by integrating their DFEs with EFI’s industry-leading MIS and web-to-print products.
