Launched at its user conference in Las Vegas, EFI has introduced the latest version of its Productivity Suite workflow software. The event also saw the worldwide premiere of new Fiery DFE technology.
Version 7 of the Packaging Suite includes streamlined web-to-print re-ordering and improved tools for managing flexible packaging, including resin traceability and blown film reel weight capture within the Suite’s shop-floor data collection component.
The Corrugated Packaging Suite now includes a product builder interface for estimating multi-part sets, a browser interface for production planning, and digital print and pre-print estimating, scheduling and data collection tools.
EFI is also announcing the latest-version MarketDirect integrated customer engagement and revenue enablement platform, offering new social media, 3D visualisation and inventory management capabilities. The software premiering at Connect also included the addition of Digital StoreFront web-to-print software. This has been rebranded as MarketDirect StoreFront, with the MarketDirect PackCentral version offering reordering and e-commerce capabilities tailored for packaging applications.
The new Fiery FS350 Pro will drive new cut-sheet and continuous-feed digital production presses from EFI’s partners, as well as the company’s own high-speed single-pass inkjet presses. It handles extended-gamut CMYK+ configurations and offers tools to save on speciality toners and inks.
