Preview AI and Automation Capabilities for Ink Management, Prepress and Job Preparation
Be the first to see Fiery’s newest AI-driven features, including Fiery InkWise for ink stock management and a new intelligent job ticketing assistant. Fiery InkWise addresses the complexities of manual ink management by introducing an AI-powered assistant that predicts when and how much ink should be ordered, allowing customers to keep reduced inventory levels. The new AI-driven job ticketing feature analyzes jobs and automatically prepares job tickets, covering media selection, prepress processes, finishing, and more.
“We are continuously exploring how AI technology can make Fiery workflows as easy as interacting with a virtual assistant. At drupa, we are excited to demonstrate AI's ability to define print settings based on file content and propose tasks prior to ticket creation. Leveraging AI in the job ticketing process helps boost productivity, enabling operators of all skill levels to quickly process a variety of print jobs." added Weiss.
Advancing print automation, Fiery will preview the upcoming release of Fiery JobFlow prepress workflow software that intelligently automates job preparation steps to ensure files are print-ready with minimal manual intervention. See how it uses AI to improve image resolution, simplify preflight reports and enable easy printing by scanning a barcode, or using voice commands with your phone.
Superpowering Packaging and Industrial Print
Fiery will showcase an end-to-end packaging and label workflow, from prepress utilizing Esko software to the Fiery Impress™ DFE, which then seamlessly sends jobs directly to Global Inkjet Systems (GIS) printhead electronics. Fiery Impress is an off-the-shelf DFE designed to accelerate OEM time to market, reduce custom development, and get end customers in production, fast. It elevates industrial production, combining the streaming speed, image quality, brand color accuracy, and automation customers need with the flexibility press manufacturers need to integrate with any workflow or press.
“Fiery DFEs are already powering market-leading presses like Landa and EFI™ Nozomi, with over 100 high speed industrial installations. Now with Fiery Impress, industrial press manufacturers can rapidly deploy a custom-tailored DFE subscription that meets precise customer requirements, with little to no custom development required on their part. The flexibility of Fiery Impress makes it the ideal DFE to power any industrial production workflow,” continues Weiss.
