The next evolution in digital print productivity<\/strong><\/p>\n

With more than 1.8 million Fiery installations worldwide, EFI\u2019s original, transformative Fiery<\/a>\u00ae digital front end (DFE) technology is a critical part of digital print professionals\u2019 success in getting work printed correctly, time after time, with streamlined and automated prep processes capable of handling high-volume, variable-data and complex jobs. Fiery DFEs\u2019 market impact is evident throughout McCormick Place, with Fiery Driven\u2122 cut-sheet digital production presses on display at Graph Expo in the Xerox\u00ae, Canon\u00ae, Ricoh\u00ae, Konica Minolta\u00ae, Sharp\u00ae, MGI and EFI booths.<\/p>\n

Graph Expo marks the tradeshow debut of EFI Fiery FS200 Pro technology, the fastest, most advanced platform in the Fiery DFE product line. EFI partners are developing DFEs for their newest digital presses using the Fiery FS200 Pro platform. Many new Fiery FS200 Pro-based DFEs extend print businesses\u2019 performance advantage with a 2015 Must See \u2019Ems Award-winning Fiery HyperRIP<\/a> technology that boosts processing speed up to 55%. Users can RIP up to four jobs simultaneously on four parallel processors with the technology. The product also includes a new Rush RIP mode that opens up a fifth processor for rush jobs when all four main parallel processors are busy.<\/p>\n

EFI Fiery CMYK+ technology, another 2015 Must See \u2019Ems Award-winner that is part of the Fiery FS200 Pro platform, is making its debut in the Fiery server on the new Xerox iGen\u00ae 5 Press in Xerox\u2019s exhibit (booth 613). PSPs can now achieve the most accurate match of brand colors and specific PANTONE\u00ae colors previously only available via offset printing. A third 2015 Must See \u2019Ems Award-winning Fiery technology, EFI Fiery Smart Estimator software<\/a>, addresses an unmet need in digital printing by giving users accurate costing data for specialty toners.<\/p>\n

Show attendees can also get a first look at a unique 2015 Must See \u2019Ems Award-winning technology demonstration: EFI Fiery Final Fix software that combines color correction with powerful, touch-screen image editing capabilities for last-minute, pixel-accurate edits to raster files. Other new Fiery innovations on display drive best-in-class productivity in prepress automation<\/a>, in-RIP make-ready processes<\/a>, color management<\/a> and custom digital print workflow development<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Industry-leading LED inkjet for profitable commercial print opportunities<\/strong><\/p>\n

With more than 500 LED inkjet printers installed worldwide, EFI is leading the charge for commercial printing companies and in-plant print departments adopting LED\u2019s greener, energy-efficient and cost-effective \u201ccool cure\u201d advantages. EFI has the industry\u2019s only portfolio of production-speed LED inkjet printers \u2013 advanced products that can print on a wide range of substrates that melt or warp when exposed to other curing or drying methods. Users benefit by printing a broader range of applications, including jobs produced on very thin or specialty materials.<\/p>\n

The 80-inch EFI VUTEk\u00ae GS2000LX Pro<\/a> with UltraDrop\u2122 Technology and 65-inch EFI H1625 LED<\/a> hybrid printers at Graph Expo meet high-end and entry-level production needs, respectively, for premium-quality signage and display applications.

The four-color plus white H1625 LED model is one of the industry\u2019s most popular LED inkjet printers. At Graph Expo, it is being exhibited by EFI and by one of EFI\u2019s partners, Konica Minolta Business Solutions, U.S.A.<\/a> (booth 1913).<\/p>\n

In addition to advanced LED inkjet printers, EFI is highlighting a pair of 2015 Must See \u2019Ems Award-winning inks for thermoforming and clear varnish applications. Print professionals also can process more jobs per shift using the newest-version EFI Fiery proServer<\/a> for VUTEk printers launching at Graph Expo. Thanks to a new print driver enhancement in the proServer\u2019s software, VUTEk users can process print files 60% faster compared to the previous version of the proServer. This advanced, production-accelerating product also processes jobs up to 170% faster than alternate inkjet printer RIPs.<\/p>\n

World-class, integrated business and production workflows<\/strong><\/p>\n

EFI\u2019s award-winning offerings also include integrated MIS and Web-to-print\/eCommerce software that collectively represent the leading, most comprehensive and most innovative portfolio of print workflow technologies. With more than 25,000 installations worldwide \u2013 including installations at 75% of the industry\u2019s top 400 companies in North America \u2013 printing operations of every size and type rely on EFI workflow software for efficient job submission, estimating, scheduling, tracking, fulfillment, shipping and financial accounting.<\/p>\n

EFI\u2019s Productivity Suite offering of certified and integrated workflows includes robust, end-to-end systems for mid-size and large commercial printing businesses, as well as label and packaging converters.<\/p>\n

A new version of the EFI Midmarket Productivity Suite<\/a> premiering at Graph Expo offers out-of-the-box productivity and efficiency with EFI Pace<\/a>\u2122 MIS software and a wide array of optional capabilities for marketing\/CRM, eCommerce, shipping, fulfillment and more. It also includes a new, 2015 Must See \u2019Ems Award-winning integration for automated, accurate impositioning<\/a> during the initial job estimating process so jobs are quoted based on the most cost-effective production scenario.<\/p>\n

The EFI Enterprise Print Suite<\/a> is based on EFI\u2019s Monarch ERP software and gives large print organizations more power to manage complex and high-volume print operations. The suite\u2019s out-of-the-box certified workflows have expanded to include additional CRM, planning and award-winning estimating capabilities, alongside many other key features. Print businesses, including multi-plant and multi-national organizations, can use the suite to gain new capabilities for achieving repeatable, profitable results, streamlined operational efficiency and accurate financial management, tracking, reporting and analysis.<\/p>\n

EFI\u2019s new Enterprise Packaging Suite<\/a> includes a 2015 Must See \u2019Ems Award-winning innovation, a dynamic scheduling<\/a> integration with EFI Radius<\/a>\u00ae ERP software that optimizes cylinder, die and tooling management in converting operations to improve plant efficiency and capacity utilization. The newest version of EFI PrintSmith<\/a>\u2122 Vision software premiering at Graph Expo provides a robust, and efficiency-driven upgrade to the industry\u2019s most popular small commercial and in-plant print MIS platform.<\/p>\n

EFI DirectSmile Cross Media<\/a> software, version 7, makes its worldwide debut at the Chicago show after impressing awards competition judges from across the print industry. The acclaimed, browser-based product, which received a 2015 Must See \u2019Ems Award and a 2015 Printing Industries of America InterTech\u2122 Award, gives PSPs the power to create, personalize and automate multi-channel marketing with no HTML programming required.<\/p>\n
