EFI™ Fiery® FS300 Pro – the newest, most-advanced Fiery digital
front end (DFE) platform to date – is now available for the Konica
Minolta® AccurioPress™ line of digital presses including new
AccurioPress C3080 and C3070 series products. Electronics For
Imaging, Inc. (Nasdaq:EFII) and Konica Minolta Business Solutions
U.S.A., Inc. announced updated EFI Fiery DFEs offering a range of
improvements that help users maximize productivity, minimize touch
points and achieve superior color and output quality. In addition
to the operational improvements that come with EFI’s latest Fiery
FS300 Pro DFE platform, customers benefit from the streamlined and
efficient control and management capabilities of the new version 6
of EFI Fiery Command WorkStation® – one of the industry’s most
widely used digital printing job management interfaces.
“The combination of our advanced AccurioPress lineup and Fiery
DFEs have proven very successful for our customers,” said Kevin
Kern, senior vice president, business intelligence services and
product planning, Konica Minolta. “The upgrade to the newest Fiery
platform helps ensure that our customers stay on the very leading
edge of digital print productivity.”
The new Fiery DFEs support Konica Minolta’s innovative
IQ-501 Intelligent Quality Optimizer with Integrated Color Care
Unit, which allows operators to scan color patches and registration
marks in-line for “1-touch” automated closed loop color control and
precise front-to-back registration from the press panel. Using EFI
Fiery Color Profiler Suite color management software, the Fiery
DFEs with supported Konica Minolta engines can be G7® calibrated
and matched to GRACoL® Colorspace compliance or Fogra PSD
level A for the PSO Coated/Fogra 51 reference. Fiery Color
Profiler Suite also supports many spectrophotometers, including the
Konica Minolta FD-9.
Two of the updated products announced today, the EFI Fiery
IC-313 external and Fiery IC-417 embedded DFEs, support
medium-volume and driver-based workflows, respectively.
The third updated product, the EFI Fiery IC-315 external DFE,
supports AccurioPress C6100 and C6085 models. It features EFI’s NX
Premium hardware platform offering a sleek, modern design and
enhanced performance, and includes Fiery QuickTouch™ software for
faster views of job status and easier device management. Designed
to handle challenging, complex and high-volume jobs such as
variable-data work, it includes Fiery HyperRIP enhancements that
can process jobs up to 55% faster, performing parallel RIPing on
multi-page jobs.
“Bringing the Fiery FS300 Pro platform to AccurioPress users
provides an even stronger foundation for users to offer
high-quality, fully personalized print to advance their
communication products,” said John Henze, vice president of
marketing, EFI Fiery.
All the upgraded EFI Fiery products announced today help users
create end-to-end workflows with the integration to EFI™ MIS/ERP
and Web-to-Print products, as well as integration to popular
prepress workflows such as the Agfa® Apogee™ Prepress Workflow,
Heidelberg® Prinect®, and the Kodak® Prinergy® Workflow.
The newest-version EFI Fiery DFEs, as well as an upgrade kit for
previously released versions, are available from Konica Minolta and
authorized Konica Minolta resellers. For more information about EFI
