MELVILLE, N.Y., Jan. 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Canon
U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital
imaging solutions, has expanded its existing relationship with EFI™
to offer streamlined production workflow solutions that enable
users to utilize the full breadth of Canon's sheetfed, toner-based
digital presses. The Canon and EFI collaboration is designed to
offer customers time saving, end-to-end workflow solutions that
help automate processes from order submission to print and
fulfillment.
The latest initiative between Canon and EFI has resulted in
bringing together the PRISMAdirect order and workflow management
solution, EFI's Midmarket Productivity Suite, including the suite's
Digital StoreFront® web-to-print component and Pace™, its
core MIS software. This offering provides an integrated solution
for print providers to help meet the business goal of increasing
efficiency and profitability. This combination of solutions
leverages the industry standard JDF/JMF to integrate communication
throughout the workflow and at EFI Connect will be outputting to
the award-winning imagePRESS C10000VP digital color production
press with the imagePRESS Server B5000.
To support workflows that do not require an extensive order
management solution, Canon is announcing the availability of EFI
Fiery® Central Solo and its compatibility to Canon's
varioPRINT 135 Series and Océ VarioPrint 6000+ Series monochrome
digital presses. EFI Fiery Central Solo is an output
management system designed to connect up to three printers to Fiery
Central/Command WorkStation® as a centralized workflow
integration hub. This allows for incoming orders from Digital
StoreFront or Pace to be directly routed with job information to
Fiery-driven digital presses and Canon varioPRINT and Océ
VarioPrint 6000+ monochrome digital presses.
As a Platinum sponsor of EFI Connect, Canon will host live
demonstrations of the PRISMAdirect integration with EFI workflow
products from January 19 – 22, 2016
at the Annual EFI Worldwide Users' Conference in Las Vegas.
Availability
PRISMAdirect is commercially available
and integration with EFI Digital StoreFront is available through
Canon Solutions America and Authorized Canon Dealers via Canon's
professional services organization. EFI Fiery Central Solo software
including support for Canon varioPRINT 135 Series and Océ
VarioPrint 6000+ Series will be available from Canon U.S.A. beginning in February.
