EFI eXpress for Photo Delivers Excellent Results Easily

The EFI eXpress v4.5 for Photo software RIP is easy to set up, easy to use, and provides high-quality photo print production. The automation features let the photographer concentrate on his creative work.

Instead of wasting valuable time configuring the print production
of photos, collections (single and multi-image templates) and contact sheets, creative professionals can focus on being creative. A comprehensive set of production tools such as cropping, rotating, crop mark support can be operated easily. Automated and manual collection/nesting functionality improves media utilisation and thus saves expenses.

Moreover this new product provides colour and printing presets with an intuitive and simpler “every day work mode” for faster processing of common tasks. The included EFI Unidriver allows to control the RIP as easy as using a Windows printer driver.

EFI eXpress for Proofing Ensures High Quality Affordably

The EFI eXpress v4.5 for Proofing software RIP offers the same ease-of-use and all the features of the eXpress for Photo version. Additionally eXpress for Proofing provides further valuable features to perform high-quality validation and contract proofing.

The new EFI Colorproof® XF 4.5 based spot colour simulation technique for optimal spot colour simulations makes spot colour management easy, e.g. it allows for intuitive one-click spot colour customisation. Consequently PANTONE, DIC, HKS and Toyo spot colour libraries are part of the product.

The version’s native PDF support (Adobe PDF Print Engine) and the support of the Adobe PostScript 3 Engine safeguard that PDF, PS and EPS files are ripped correctly and lead to predictable print results.

It is self-evident that EFI’s eXpress for Proofing includes the latest Ugra/Fogra (v2.2 & v3.0) and IDEAlliance ISO 12647-7 2009 media wedges and supports all relevant file formats for the creative and proofing processes.

Most importantly: what sounds so powerful can be operated incredibly easy. Thanks to EFI eXpress’ setup-wizard, colour management presets, control wedges and spot colour simulations are ready-to-use right after the installation of the product.

Proof certification and job-based profile optimization with
EFI eXpress for Proofing Advanced
Colour consistency and quality is key within the professional graphic art business. Digital control wedges are the base for a precise quality control during proof and print. EFI eXpress for Proofing Advanced integrates a wizard based certification routine based on Fogra and IDEAlliance standards for precise output control in conjunction with stripe measurements with the EFI ES-1000 / Xrite EyeOne Pro or

integrated Spectrophotometers like Epson ́s Spectroproofer. Thanks to the Job-based optimization feature, sub-optimal paper profiles can additionally be adjusted to meet the industry standards and individual quality requirements.

EFI eXpress v4.5 for Proofing includes all the aspects of EFI eXpress for Photo. Both are easy to install, easy to use, and both are based on the proven EFI Colorproof XF high-end colour technology that has been designed to fully support all industry standards.
