The new version includes the existing Fiery Option, which seamlessly integrates Fiery-driven devices into the Colorproof XF workflow.
EFI Colorproof XF turns inkjet and laser printers into powerful proofing and production devices, and Version 3.0 improves upon the solution’s combination of colour quality, power, flexibility and ease of use.
A key component of Colorproof XF is the Fiery Option, fully integrating Fiery controller technology, which is used by more than 14 million customers worldwide, says EFI. The Fiery Option enables these customers to deploy ColorProof XF to proof on an inkjet printer and then seamlessly utilise their Fiery for colour management and workflow on a production laser-based printing system.
The new Production Option enables EFI Colorproof XF users to transform their large-format printers into fast, flexible and productive sources of new revenues from posters, banners and similar added-value products.
The Gravure Output Option provides a cost-efficient solution to produce data needed for gravure cylinder production: users simply create anti-aliased and separated greyscale TIFFs to drive digital engraving machines.
All Colorproof XF packages now incorporate 3D Optimiser, a new easy-to-use tool embedded in the software to optimise printer output to a specific reference, whether a printing press or another printer.
Optimiser supports the Gretag Macbeth Eye-One iO automated measurement device, providing fast, accurate reading of test charts in addition to supporting the linearisation tool of the basic Colorproof XF package, along with the Colour Manager and Colour Verifier Option.
