EFI Fiery proServer: Seven times faster

Print Solutions

EFI has announced worldwide availability for the latest version of its wide and superwide format inkjet Fiery proServer. Designed for EFI Vutek printers, proServer Version 6 is an advanced digital front end system features the Fiery Accelerated System Technology (FAST) RIP, which processes PDF files up to seven times faster than before. More than a RIP, the proServer provides a high performance colour management workflow, supports Fogra PSD Print Check and is compatible with more than 540 printers from numerous major manufacturers.

FAST RIP, an EFI developed acceleration technology, improves processing for the Adobe PDF Print Engine as well as the Adobe Post Script Interpreter (CPSI). A combination of file compression algorithms and efficient memory management redefines how complex images are analysed.

This version also brings an enhanced usability around tiling. Tile mounting is much faster, more accurate, and more efficient so users waste less time and material. All of Fiery proServer 6’s new features, combined with the faster processing times, reduce idle times for printer capital investments and return benefits directly to the user’s bottom line.

The bi-directional job definition format (JDF) link provides information about the printer status, job status and consumables usage to EFI’s Pace management information system as well as to EFI Digital StoreFront and Online Print Solutions web to print software. As a result, users can create an end to end, automated workflow that eliminates touch points while improving speed and accuracy.

The upgrade to Fiery proServer 6 is available at no charge to all existing proServer customers who have a valid Software Maintenance and Support agreement, or an Enhanced Software Program with Fiery XF coverage, in place. Other customers can acquire Fiery proServer 6 directly from EFI.
