EFI calim that their updated modular, PDF-based production workflow solution, Fiery Central, helps medium to high-volume print-on-demand environments increase their job volume, decrease turnaround times and maximise their equipment investment.
It comes in three modular components: Fiery Central Focus, Fiery Central Flow and Fiery Central Balance. Optional modules such as Balance perform job splitting and load balancing to increase production, while other optional modules such as Flow create customisable workflow automation for advanced prepress capabilities.
Feature Highlights
Delivers high return on investment. Focus, the base module, includes Fiery applications such as EFI Command WorkStation® (CWS), EFI Hot Folders and EFI Driver, making it familiar and integration effortless into companies’ existing workflows. Businesses also can add on optional modules as they grow such as Flow for prepress automation, EFI Impose for job imposition and EFI Compose for complex document production.
Manages jobs faster and more efficiently. CWS eliminates bottlenecks and device contention by centrally managing workloads. EFI Driver makes setting up, submitting and monitoring print jobs simple, while Hot Folders reduces costly mistakes by automating the job set-up process. EFI Scan improves the job process by scanning black and white and color documents to the workflow.
Maximize productivity for crunch times. Balance increases productivity by combining multiple devices into a "printer group" for optimized asset utilization. Compose makes job composition easier by allowing users to visually assign and communicate page-level attributes and tabs to any printer. Impose also reduces production time and errors by allowing WYSIWYG display for nearly any imposition scheme and by creating templates for simple, scalable workflows.
Automates prepress functions easily and quickly. Flow offers advanced digital prepress capabilities in a simple, cost-effective solution. It incorporates file conversion, preflight, spot color management, approval, routing and proofing processes into customizable workflows that can be edited and managed by any operator to optimize resources and increase production. It also can reduces manual tasks and provide greater consistency and reliability.
