Fiery XF

As a digital print producer, you want the easiest route to the best color and print quality, produced in the least amount of time. Operators need a workflow solution that is adaptable to cater for different job types, and allows them to automate repeat jobs and repetitive tasks. In a successful print facility, you need to be able to deploy both your technology and your workforce as flexibly as possible — plus you need to keep learning curves to a minimum. Fiery XF delivers all that and more to your large format print business.

Unrivalled print job management

• Fiery XF comes with a new user experience — Fiery Command WorkStation, the world’s most popular interface for the management, layout, and editing of digital print jobs. It conveniently connects to multiple Fiery servers at a time — whether driving inkjet or cutsheet printers — and connects multiple printers to a single Fiery XF server for truly unified print job management through a single interface. The visual Fiery Job Editor allows you to apply job-specific settings on the fly, or to change properties beyond workflow defaults. The Fiery Job Center delivers unrivaled print job management, with the same power and usability for both Microsoft® Windows® and Apple® macOS® users.

Maximum productivity and throughput

• Exclusive Fiery Accelerated System Technology (FAST RIP), now available for Fiery XF users, accelerates RIPping speeds by an average of 5 times. The CUDA-enabled FAST Processing Option speeds up file processing further by up to 13 times and an average of 6 times*. Fiery XF has automation levels to suit everyone, and a customizable interface that can be tailored to suit the way each individual prefers to operate. Its award-winning cross-platform client interface reduces learning curves, and creates production efficiencies in mixed-technology print rooms resulting in maximum productivity and throughput.
  
  * FAST Processing performance gains are dependent on the FAST Processing level used. Factors mentioned are based on the latest Fiery proServer Premium configuration. FAST Processing acceleration is applied on top of FAST RIP.

Ultimate colour, quality and control

• Proof-grade color controls and verification mean industry standard compliant color results — no matter the application or product being produced. 100% Fiery-developed color management using ICC technology, combined with sophisticated iterative spot and process color optimization routines deliver superior color. Its screening algorithms are engineered to maximize both print quality and printer performance, providing ultimate color, quality and control, in the least amount of time. 

Fiery XF is scalable and configurable so it can grow with your business and your needs. A range of configurations gives you the best fit for a variety of print production scenarios.
