Electronics For Imaging, Inc. is introducing a powerful new EFI Fiery digital front end (DFE) that helps make it easy for businesses to produce professional colour prints and to bring print back in house, which can help limit the time and cost of outsourcing. The new Fiery-powered DFE – the imagePRESS Server M20 – is a great choice for excellent colour quality for workplace users to unleash the capabilities of the Canon imagePRESS Lite C270 Series and enhance output quality and colour management. New Fiery TrueBrand technology included with the DFE gives users outstanding control and accuracy in reproducing corporate brand colours using Microsoft Office applications, a task that was previously a challenge for many office workers.

“Adding the advanced Fiery DFE technology to the imagePRESS Lite C270 Series printers from Canon can provide customers with excellent quality and even greater control over their output,” said Shinichi “Sam” Yoshida, executive vice president and general manager of Canon U.S.A., Inc. “The new, user-friendly imagePRESS Server M20 can help users to produce professional-looking output while limiting the need to outsource, and gives users the power to easily reproduce accurate brand colours in workplace documents.”
