EFI Fiery Servers Power Xerox's New Color 550/560 Printer

EFI began shipping two Fiery servers for the new Xerox Color 550/560 Printer last Friday. The EX Print Server, which is powered by Fiery, as well as the Integrated Fiery Color Server enhance productivity and also deliver high color quality through intuitive and easy to use tools and workflows.

According to John Henze, Vice President of Marketing, Fiery Division, EFI, "As evident by our long history of powering Xerox presses and printers, Fiery servers continue to be the digital front end of choice for businesses of all sizes. We're excited to bring these new solutions to the marketplace, providing a 30 percent increase in performance over the previous generation among other stand out enhancements."

The Fiery Server's smart RIP technology boosts performance immensely by allowing one page to be printed at the same time that subsequent pages are being processed. This allows more pages to be printed per hour. In addition to that, users have the ability to let Fiery Hot Folders and Virtual Printers automate the print submission process which saves time when printing repetitive types of jobs. For an end-to-end PDF workflow, the EX Printer Server gives users a choice of Adobe CPSI or native PDF workflows with APPE.

In addition to high performance, Fiery servers provide unparalleled color to quick printers, commercial printers, in-plant CRDs and creative service organizations. The new Fiery Image Enhance feature improves the output quality of digital pictures by applying corrections automatically in order to optimize each image individually for all Fiery supported files. Fiery Spot-on makes sure the best match of PANTONE colors and streamlines workflow with standardized corporate color palettes. Other advanced graphic arts tools used for proofing, prepress and color management are also available.

Fiery Technology is well-known for their intuitive user interfaces as well as their easy to use applications. These new servers operate with the Fiery Command WorkStation job and device management console. This centralizes the whole print workflow and connects to all Fiery servers on the network. This also eliminates bottlenecks as well as maximizes engine utilization which raises productivity and profit potential on every job. In addition to all this, Fiery SeeQuence Impose offers an intuitive imposition tool that automates prepress tasks.

The Fiery VUE application, which is targeted at the office environment, allows users to easily print professional looking booklets as well as other documents by interacting with their documents on-screen in 3D to sculpt and then preview exactly what the finished product will look like after printing.

Great features along with a great company, it looks like Xerox is continuing to stay on top of the printer game with every new product they produce.

EFI and Xerox Deliver High Quality Color and Performance

EFI, a recognized leader and innovator in digital printing, and Xerox Corporation, began shipping the Fiery(R) Network Controller for the Xerox WorkCentre(R) 7700 Series of color multifunction printers (MFPs) last week. The WorkCentre 7700 Series MFPs are one of the first to utilize the Fiery VUE desktop application, a "visual print driver" that is fully compatible with common applications such as Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Publisher and Adobe Acrobat. Many businesses are looking to bring document production in-house to lower costs and allow employees to produce professional color documents without the expert knowledge. The WorkCentre 7700 series, , coupled with the Fiery VUE, was specifically designed to meet the demanding requirements of office environments which see productivity and fantastic "out of the box" color quality as absolutely essential while simultaneously being easy to use.

Today, businesses are transitioning from traditional black and white to color printing across the board as in-house print jobs are becoming an effective means to reducing costs and controlling security. Targeted at enterprise customers from all walks of life, the recently launched Fiery VUE desktop application allows users to interact with their document on-screen in 3D to visualize and perfect exactly how the finished document will look. When combined with speeds of up to 50 pages per minute (ppm) in color and up to 75 ppm in black and white from the WorkCentre MFPs, the two can easily handle whatever your enterprise throws at them from run-of-the-mill office documents to high-volume color print jobs. They also manage multiple printing, copying, scanning and faxing tasks simultaneously without interruption for quicker turnarounds, accelerated processing time, and the ability for your employees to spend less time producing color prints and more time out in the field.

“With advanced document management tools and professional color capabilities right at your fingertips, the WorkCentre 7700 Series makes easy work of complicated tasks,” said Rick Dastin, president, Global Product Delivery Group, Xerox Corporation. “These new MFPs can be customized to meet the specific workflow needs of individual users and workgroups – helping our customers get work done quicker than ever.”

"Our latest Fiery controller paired with the advanced features of the WorkCentre 7700 Series ensure that office workers of any skill level can easily produce eye-catching documents," said John Henze, vice president of marketing, Fiery division, EFI. "While there are many new capabilities to enhance productivity and color quality, we're excited to offer WorkCentre 7700 Series users the game changing Fiery VUE application, which takes all the complexity out of producing professional documents."

The WorkCentre 7700 series boasts a 2400 x 2400 dpi output resolution which combines with Emulsion Aggregate High Grade toner to produce superior images while consuming less than traditional toners per page. This MFP also comes with built-in tools such as Xerox Standard Accounting which will help monitor and control color costs. There are also several optional additions including EFI Fiery print server for powerful graphic art capabilities as well as finishing attachements like 100 page stapling and C and Z folding. The WorkCentre 7700 Series color multifunction printers start at $24,100 and are available immediately worldwide.
