EFI Announces New Fiery DFE Driving the Next Generation of Ricoh MFPs

Electronics For Imaging announced the launch of a new Fiery digital front end (DFE) that drives the next generation of Ricoh’s family of color multi-function printers (MFPs), driven by Ricoh’s new Workstyle Innovation Technology platform designed to support both enterprise and office environments.
 
The new EFI Fiery E-23C DFE delivers popular variable data printing (VDP) capabilities with the easy-to-use, built-in Fiery FreeForm. Plus, it gives users the competitive advantage of superior processing performance, with Fiery SmartRIP technology, which quickly and easily processes even complex, content- and image-rich files by streamlining the processing of queued jobs. Users gain a higher level of performance and speed to process and produce professional-looking prints in-house, such as booklets, brochures, manuals, and flyers on demand, saving time and money.
 
The new product also extends a longstanding partnership between EFI and Ricoh providing products to customers to improve their print operations.
 
John Brophy, VP, product marketing, Ricoh USA, Inc., said the new DFE will help customers gain even more improvements in their high-end digital color printing.
 
“Our four new Ricoh color MFPs are affordable, versatile and highly productive systems that have been designed to help seamlessly support the color intensive workflow requirements for busy office workgroups and enterprise environments,” Brophy said. “The Fiery E-23C provides our customers with the power to quickly and efficiently produce high-quality finished prints with accurate and pleasing color.”
