Fujifilm Europe announced the launch of the Revoria XMF PressReady Lite. Fujifilm’s original XMF PressReady workflow solution, launched in 2023 boasts a wide range of features, including the ability to integrate with MIS and web-to-print systems and more. Able to manage print production to multiple print on demand (POD) presses, whether they are Fujifilm devices or other vendor presses driven by a Fiery DFE, it’s an ideal solution for large and busy print houses operating multiple presses.
For smaller companies however, especially those using just one or two presses for production, it’s often much more than they need. In response to this market need, Fujifilm has developed PressReady Lite, a version of the software designed specifically to add value to smaller companies. Revealed at Fujifilm’s POD partner conference in Madrid, during May, the new lower cost, lower specification workflow solution is designed for businesses where production is focused on a very small number of POD presses.
‘We see PressReady Lite as a ‘productivity pack’ for our Fujifilm Revoria Flow DFE,’ explained John Davies, Workflow Product Group Manager, Fujifilm EMEA. ‘It’s a software add-on to Revoria Flow, and it’s a workflow system carefully targeted at smaller businesses, providing the ability to check and fix PDF files, and to create automated workflows to intelligently group jobs for printing, a task that can otherwise be very time-consuming. For instance, jobs that include the use of pink toner, or jobs that all print on the same media, with the same set of toners, can be automatically grouped together for printing to minimise unnecessary changing of toners, or loading and unloading of media.’
A software-only solution, PressReady Lite can be installed on any Revoria Flow server. Available for use with Fujifilm’s Revoria SC285, EC2100 and PC1120 models, it contains automation and time saving features targeted at single press solutions, making it an accessible and easy way to add automation even when one of these presses is the only production device.
Davies concluded, ‘We’re committed to helping all our customers, from the largest to the smallest, and in PressReady Lite, we’re proud to be bringing to market a tailored automation solution that allows even the smallest print businesses to benefit from enhanced productivity and reduced human error.’
