Konica Minolta Business Solutions Europe and Fiery, LLC, the largest independent provider of digital front ends (DFEs), have released five new Fiery® digital front ends (DFEs) as part of their ongoing and long-term partnership. These new DFEs are based on the latest Fiery platform, Fiery FS600 Pro, and customised to drive maximum productivity for a wide range of Konica Minolta production presses, saving time and increasing profitability.

The Fiery FS600 Pro is the most innovative and user-friendly Fiery DFE, providing unrivalled performance, superior colour, and intelligent automation for digital printing. The new Fiery DFEs, fine-tuned to the Konica Minolta presses they serve, enable Konica Minolta customers to simplify and automate job preparation, colour management, and processing while ensuring print production runs smoothly at maximum capacity. They are customized to deliver the best possible press utilization.

These include:

  • Fiery IC-319 and IC-318 v3 DFEs that drive the Konica Minolta AccurioPress C14000e/C12000e colour production presses for the high-end production printing market.
  • Fiery IC-319 and IC-318L v3 DFEs that drive the Konica Minolta AccurioPress C7100/C7090 ​digital​ colour presses.
  • Fiery IC-317 and IC-419 v3 DFEs that drive the Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4080/C4070​ and AccurioPrint ​C4065 printers.

New capabilities when adding a Fiery DFE to a Konica Minolta printer include:

  • User-friendly colour management automation. New, easy-to-use colour automation and spot colour processing features ensure superior colour accuracy and quality while cutting operator and profiling time by up to 50%.
  • Streamlined, error-free job setup, submission and scheduling. Users can now seamlessly submit jobs to Fiery JobFlow™ directly from the Fiery Command WorkStation simplifying the prepress workflow and reducing manual job touches.
  • Smart file processing. The Fiery IC-319, IC-318, and IC-318L servers come standard with Intelligent HyperRIP technology, a game-changing innovation that makes it easier for print providers to meet tight turnaround times for higher volumes of shorter runs.
  • Enterprise-level security and compliance. The DFEs include security and compliance enhancements designed to meet the highest corporate and industry regulations for data security, encryption, cloud-based printing, and sanitization standards.

Senior Product Manager Colour Devices, Konica Minolta

Offering these new DFEs to our customers is all part of our strategy to help customers ignite printing possibilities. Print providers who are looking to increase performance will appreciate the combination of our outstanding presses with the new Fiery servers by seeing the potential to get the most out of their investments. Customers will benefit from the Fiery workflow that further automates job preparation, helping operators produce colour-accurate work, the first time, every time.

John Henze, Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Fiery, said: “Print providers are increasingly seeking solutions that will help them automate their workflows in the face of rising operational costs, labour storages, and decreased margins. With the new Fiery DFEs, Konica Minolta customers have the tools to automate prepress, makeready, and color management into one-step workflows, making it easier to take on new print jobs and grow the business with less experienced staff while still ensuring the highest quality, print after print.”
