Focusing on affordable remote proofing, support of newly launched printers and the new GOE pantone library support, the latest version of EFI Colorproof XF, combined with the new EFI XF Satellite, will allow users to achieve higher productivity and profit potential through a more streamlined workflow.
Introducing EFI Colorproof XF Satellite
EFI now offers a new configuration for customers working across multiple locations who have the specific need to process, print and verify RPF (remote printing file) formats. Specifically designed for the task of remote proofing, with XF Satellite RPF files are sent to the remote proof job recipient to produce real remote proofs that are identical to the proofs produced at the origin. XF Satellite packages installed in remote locations provide full flexibility in processing RPF files and are dedicated to that function.
XF Satellite is a highly cost effective onsite remote proofing application, with little expert proofing knowledge required.
New users who use EFI Satellite also have the option to upgrade to the full version of EFI Colorproof XF at a later date, making this a flexible investment for their business.
“XF Satellite will be ideal for the print buyers out there, it provides companies the opportunity to bring their customers closer to them thru affordable technology, allowing them to remote proof the jobs and really differentiate their business through innovation. It increases productivity and allows everyone to work seamlessly. It will be a very successful product for EFI and DES together.” commented Russell Cavenagh, Sales Director at DES.
