Top Reasons to Sell the imagePRESS Servers

1. Performance

Fiery technology delivers high-impact documents with vibrant images that exceed customers’
expectations and meet tight turnaround times. It allows users to do more work by automating

Presets and Proof Print. The new variable data printing (VDP) enhancements boost performance
and increase workflow flexibility with support of PDF/VT-1 format.

2. Colour

Fiery colour management tools produce precise, exact, high-quality colour out of the box. New
features such as Job Based Calibration and Calibration Guard increase calibration effectiveness.
The new Image Enhance Visual Editor enables customers to make on-the-fly corrections for
individual images without the need to go back to the original design files.

3. Usability
Produces Finished Jobs Simply and Quickly
The latest Fiery Command WorkStation® 5 includes new features to improve usability and image
quality. It increases production and reduces errors and waste by centralising job management
through its intuitive user interface. Mixed finishing sets in Fiery Compose automates document
production even for documents with multiple finishing requirements in a set. Fiery Impose supports
user-defined trim and bleed definitions, so the operator has more control over imposition settings.

4. Integration
Provides Workflow Integration
Fiery JDF technology connects EFI and Fiery solutions so job information can move through a
system faster and more efficiently. Fiery servers also support the Adobe® PDF Print Engine v2
to offer a native end-to-end PDF workflow. Plus, by using Fiery servers and Fiery Command
Workstation, customers get a new level of integration for process and profit improvement.
