Fiery® technology makes producing all types of digital print jobs easier to ensure exceptional colour, precision, efficiency, and profitability. Fiery, LLC, will showcase innovations driving the future of digital printing at drupa 2024, being held in Düsseldorf from May 28 – June 7.
AI And Automation Capabilities For Ink Management, Prepress and Job Preparation
Visitors can see Fiery’s newest AI-driven features, including Fiery InkWise for ink stock management and a new intelligent job ticketing assistant. Fiery InkWise addresses the complexities of manual ink management by introducing an AI-powered assistant that predicts when and how much ink should be ordered, allowing customers to keep reduced inventory levels. The new AI-driven job ticketing feature analyses jobs and automatically prepares job tickets, covering media selection, prepress processes, finishing and more.
Advancing print automation, Fiery will preview the upcoming release of Fiery JobFlow™ prepress workflow software that intelligently automates job preparation steps to ensure files are print-ready with minimal manual intervention. Visitors can see how it uses AI to improve image resolution, simplify preflight reports and enable easy printing by scanning a barcode, or using voice commands with a phone.
Packaging And Industrial Print
Fiery will showcase an end-to-end packaging and label workflow, from prepress using Esko software to the Fiery Impress™ DFE, which then seamlessly sends jobs directly to Global Inkjet Systems (GIS) printhead electronics. Fiery Impress is an off-the-shelf DFE designed to accelerate OEM time to market, reduce custom development, and get end customers in production, fast. It elevates industrial production, combining the streaming speed, image quality, brand colour accuracy and automation customers need with the flexibility press manufacturers need to integrate with any workflow or press.
With Fiery Impress, industrial press manufacturers can rapidly deploy a custom-tailored DFE subscription that meets precise customer requirements, with little to no custom development required on their part. The flexibility of Fiery Impress makes it the ideal DFE to power any industrial production workflow,’ continued Weiss.
Cutsheet Workflow
The latest Fiery DFEs and workflows power an extensive line-up of state-of-the-art digital presses for commercial segments. Designed to sit at the centre of a print workflow, Fiery DFEs, including the latest Fiery® FS600 Pro platform and Fiery XF 8, offer enhanced automation, colour, and job processing tools to increase productivity and digital press performance. When combined with Fiery Command WorkStation®, print providers can unify their print room using one central job management solution that transcends printer brands and models.
At drupa, attendees will see how Fiery DFEs superpower colour management with solutions like Fiery ColorGuard™, a cloud-based colour verification tool that now includes a Spot Colour Verification feature that takes care of brand colours in the same controlled way as process colours. Or they can learn how Fiery Color Profiler Suite offers enhancements for expanded gamut printing and output verification.
