Fiery tech enhances office printing

digital printing innovation player, and Ricoh have launched new Fiery technology that brings office workgroups high-quality colour, automated workflows and productivity-boosting tools including a solution for mobile device users to print from their smartphones and tablets, WhatTheyThink reports.

Built on the award-winning Fiery System 10e platform, with speeds two times faster than their predecessors, the new Aficio MFPs deliver fully finished documents more quickly than ever before.

"The latest advanced Fiery technology combined with the Ricoh Aficio MFPs provides customers with exceptional colour printing," said John Henze, VP of Fiery marketing, EFI. "This launch builds upon the outstanding Fiery colour quality and ease-of-use while adding some unique tools that increase productivity in office environments, including the Fiery VUE visual print application and direct WiFi printing for Apple device users. These features save time for busy office workers while ensuring first-rate results."

The functionality of the Fiery software combined with the finishing capabilities of the Ricoh Aficio printers enable workgroups to increase productivity, save time and reduce resource waste and costs. Producing more professional-looking documents in-house is now simpler with the Fiery VUE visual print application - its intuitive interface allows users to make instant changes to the document and view a live 3D preview of the finished piece, EFI writes.

Integration and support of all available Ricoh Aficio finishing devices enhances print output options and further simplifies the creation of more complex documents such as booklets.

With the increased use of smartphones and tablets in the office, now more than ever, mobile workers need to be able to access and print their documents not only from their desktop computers, but also from their mobile devices.
