“The early feedback from our customers about V.3 has been absolutely fantastic,” says Russell Cavenagh, sales director at DES. “I always place a high value on our customer's opinions and the favourable response to V.3 has been unanimous across the board.
“EFI Colorproof XF Version 3 is an unbeatable system for proofing with its PC or Mac interface, client/server architecture, industry standard Adobe CPSI and ease of calibration. Coupled with speed improvements, greater efficiencies and new features such as the new 3CC linearization optimisation tool for matching the output of multiple printers and the modular structure this is undoubtedly the best proofing currently available.”
Flexibility
Every user - print shop, prepress agency, publishers, and photographer - will place a different demand on their software solution. The modular structure of Colorproof XF means it is easily customised to your personal requirements. Even the standard package is extremely professional and includes top of the range proofing and print functions. To ensure the long-term future of your investment, Colorproof XF is expandable to suit your needs today and tomorrow.
Ground Breaking Technology
The client-server architecture makes Colorproof XF the perfect solution for customers of all sizes since installation can be performed at a single workstation or on the network and can be extended at any time. The number of client options is unlimited, and you can combine Mac and Windows systems supporting a wide variety of laser, inkjet or LED printers.
New features
Significant new features include a new output option for gravure printers, a new production option for wide format production environments and the Fiery Option, which seamlessly integrates Fiery-driven devices into the Colorproof XF workflow.
The new Production Option enables EFI Colorproof XF users to transform their large-format printers into fast, flexible and productive sources of new revenues from posters, banners and similar added-value products.
Advanced step-and-repeat features not only print multiple copies of images -- by defining whether images are repeated horizontally, vertically or mirror-fashion, they create striking patterns quickly and easily.
The Production Option also features a tiling function that prints images larger than the printer's width. Overlaps, crop marks and tile numbering are freely definable to simplify reassembling of total image, which can be previewed before final output.
A new Gravure Output Option provides a cost-efficient solution to produce data needed for gravure cylinder production: users simply create anti-aliased and separated grayscale Tiffs' to drive digital engraving machines.
An enhanced EFI Colorproof XF user interface delivers new levels of productivity. In the basic package, a new simplified interface is built around just two views - Job Explorer and System Manager. Job Explorer offers new tools and selection criteria, while new functions such as copy-and-paste make setting up workflows in System easy and intuitive.
All Colorproof XF packages now incorporate 3D Optimizer, a new easy-to-use tool embedded in the software to optimise printer output to a specific reference, whether a printing press or another printer. Optimizer supports the Gretag Macbeth Eye-One iO automated measurement device, providing fast, accurate reading of test charts in addition to supporting the linearization tool of the basic Colorproof XF package, along with the Color Manager and Color Verifier Option.
The functionality of the Color Manager Option - now also available for Mac OS X - has been greatly extended; enhancing RGB workflows for photographic applications and allowing the creation of device link profiles based on up to three different ICC profiles. There is also support for multi-colour profiles for inkjet printers -- for example CMYK + orange + green. Version 3 closes the loop for six-colour proofing, since Colorproof XF can also process six-color input and simulation profiles. A number of new features in Version 3 further improve Colorproof XF's already outstanding color quality.
