EFI’s unique processing and automation technologies in the Xerox EX-P 5 Print Server strengthen this offering by providing Xerox customers unmatched end-to-end functionality and productivity,” said Robert Stabler, senior vice president/general manager, graphic communications business group, Xerox.
 
The server comes standard with Fiery Impose-Compose for intuitive, visual document preparation, and ‘Fiery Color Profiler Suite’, a product that helps ensure reliable, repeatable colour matching and consistency throughout print runs and across multiple digital presses
