The new EFI ES-6000 scanning network spectrophotometer is fully integrated into EFI Fiery digital front end workflows which is expected to help print professionals ‘quickly and easily’ update profiles and verify colour to ensure the best possible colour output from their digital presses.
“Making sure that press profiles are up to date and digital presses are properly calibrated can be a challenge,” said John Hence, vice president of marketing, EFI Fiery. “The award winning Fiery Colour Profiler Suite combined with the EFI ES-6000 scanning network spectrophotometer solves this issue, providing important colour management advantages for EFI Fiery users with multiple digital presses.”
The EFI ES-6000 can read thousands of colour patches in minutes and accommodates M0, M1 and M2 measurement illumination conditions.
The ES-6000 spectrophotometer, supplied through EFI’s relationship with X-Rite and EFI Fiery Colour Profiler Suite are integrated together to offer next-generation digital print colour measurement for efficient colour management of multiple print engines in a single shop location.
The release says, "users gain a greater level of speed, automation and accuracy in digital press profiling over handheld spectrophotometers in multi-press EFI Fiery production workflows."
The ES-6000 spectrophotometer can read up to 2,500 patches on a single A3/tabloid sheet in just 10 minutes. EFI Fiery users are expected to spend less time profiling their digital press fleets by using the device to conduct press configuration tasks automatically with no setup or IT involvement.
