lenge is how to implement color to meet their
expectations as well as your expectations for

MANAGE COLOR AND WORKFLOW WITH EASE

Fiery ColorWise® allows for calibration, default print options, auto trapping, sim­ulations, spot color and Pantone match­ing, black management and more.
The Fiery standard Graphics Arts Package can do soft proofing, paper simulations with white point, halftone simulation and unlimited separations.
The optional EFI Color Profiler Suite helps to produce consistent color across devices by creating ICC profiles for RGB and CMYK and much more.
Easy-to-use tools help you manage work­flows easily through several workstations.
Variable data printing tools range from simple mail merge to extensive connec­tivity with third-party applications such as TransPromo and complex direct mail offerings.
Hot folders and virtual printers can enable advanced preconfigured setups that workstations can quickly utilize.
Powerful impose and compose tools, remote setups and intuitive print drivers save time and tame complex jobs.
WYSIWYG layouts allow you to see the result before you print so you don’t waste time and resources.
