The new DFE server platform includes advanced tools for colour management and enhancement, spot-color reproduction and variable-data print (VDP) management – elevate digital production, which John Henze, vice president of Fiery marketing and sales, EFI said, gives  print service providers (PSPs) a new, higher level of integrated, advanced digital print workflow capabilities.

“This is the biggest Fiery platform release of the past few years, one that can have a significant improvement for print providers looking to advance their businesses with higher quality, higher accuracy, and outstanding efficiency,” said Henze.

EFI is working with its OEM partners to make the Fiery FS400 Pro, which will be available for both external and embedded Fiery servers, compatible with their upcoming offerings to the market.

Fiery JobExpert, a feature in FS400 Pro, is an in-RIP technology that analyses incoming PDF files and processes the job with fewer errors, and along with Fiery Edge,  will help print service providers achieve the best image and colour quality process, more jobs and create less waste.

These are two of the many other features, said Henze. “Customers who adopt the Fiery FS400 Pro platform in their new digital press investments will quickly realise that it is more than capable of handling some of the most demanding production printing requirements,” he explained.
