Fiery, LLC, one of the largest independent providers of digital front ends (DFEs), has announced that it was recognised with two prestigious PRINTING United Alliance 2024 Pinnacle Product Awards. This includes awards in the non-output category for the Fiery Impress DFE for industrial inkjet applications and the upcoming release of the Fiery Smart Estimator for estimating the usage and costs of ink/toner for Fiery Driven presses. Fiery Impress, the turnkey DFE for industrial applications including packaging and labeling won in the RIP software category. Now available as a software-only DFE subscription, Fiery Impress provides a cost-effective solution combining the streaming speed, image quality, brand colour accuracy, and automation customers need with the flexibility press manufacturers require in driving high-speed inkjet press, integrating with any workflow.
The second product, Fiery Smart Estimator won in the prepress and premedia software category. New for 2024 is the introduction of a cloud-based component that anyone in the print operation, including sales, estimators, and customer service representatives, can use to estimate ink usage and costs for a job, even if they don’t have access to the Fiery server. Without disrupting print production, the Fiery Smart Estimator cloud application RIPs the uploaded job, providing the user with estimated ink volumes and costs. The new cloud capabilities extend the benefits of the Fiery Smart Estimator to sales and customer service to quickly and confidently produce quotes and RFPs or determine the most cost-effective production method for that job. Pinnacle Product Awards recognise products that advance the printing industry with exceptional contributions in quality, capability, and productivity.
