Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A and Electronics For Imaging (EFII) have introduced new EFI Fiery digital front end (DFE), developed to enhance the performance of digital presses.
Through delivering better image quality and advanced job management, the new EFI Fiery MIC-4150 DFE will enhance the performance of Konica Minolta bizhub Press 1052/1250 black-and-white digital presses.
Based on the latest Fiery FS200 Pro platform, the new EFI Fiery DFE will provide enhanced monochrome imaging and streamline the print process with automation and other productivity-boosting tools.
Fiery Command WorkStation is a centralized user interface that enables users to manage the monochromatic Konica Minolta bizhub PRESS 1052/1250 printers. It helps Fiery DFE to work on color digital presses in an integrated workflow.
Fiery Grayscale Calibration will enhance shadow details and preserve upper and lower tonal variances.
The optional Fiery ImageViewer for Black and White is a full-resolution raster preview tool that helps users in black curve adjustments to maintain output consistency between multiple devices.
In addition, the optional Fiery Impose and Fiery JobMaster visual makeready tools streamline complex tasks, helping users in imposition, tab insertion and design, page-level ticketing, finishing, scanning and late-stage editing.
Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A Business Intelligence Services and product development senior vice president said: "This expanded partnership will bring Fiery tools and workflow uniformity to our monochrome bizhub Press.
"EFI's market-leading development platform is one of the best and we believe the integration of our solution with theirs creates a compelling offer for a broad range of companies."
