X-Rite and EFI Bring New Levels of Automation to Fiery Color Profiler Suite
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. & FOSTER CITY, Calif.-(Business Wire)-September 11, 2009 - X-Rite, Incorporated (NASDAQ: XRIT), the world leader in color management, measurement and communication technologies and EFI, Inc. (NASDAQ: EFII), the world leader in customer-focused digital printing innovation, today announced that the newest version of EFI’s Fiery® Color Profiler Suite v3.0 will feature automated measurement with X-Rite’s i1iO automated chart-reading scanning table.
The Fiery Color Profiler Suite with i1iO bundle is ideally suited to meet the color calibration, profiling and measurement needs of graphic arts professionals who want to speed up and automate the color profiling process. This complete set of integrated color management tools ensures total color quality control in the color printing workflow of any Fiery-controlled printing process.
X-Rite’s i1iO automated chart reader is designed to work seamlessly with Color Profiler Suite’s spectrophotometer, the ES-1000. Combined with i1iO, Color Profiler Suite provides consistent and reliable results, increases productivity, and reduces the risk of errors, while remaining easy to use by operators at all levels. The i1iO provides the fastest measurements for reflective test charts on a variety of substrates (up to 10 mm) and can read more than 500 patches per minute, thereby significantly reducing the time to create custom profiles.
“Fiery Color Profiler Suite, when combined with X-Rite’s i1iO, provides users with a hands-free, highly accurate automated color measurement solution regardless of the type or thickness of the substrate they are working with,” said Tobias Rausch, X-Rite’s i1 Solutions Product Manager.
“Fiery Color Profiler Suite offers an excellent profiling solution for any printing environment and is especially suited for Fiery-driven devices,” said Sharon Henley, product manager, EFI. “The latest version takes this one step further, offering fully integrated color management tools ensuring total color quality control in the Fiery color printing workflow.”
