Xerox Corporation, an $11 billion technology leader that innovates the way the world communicates, connects, and works, and Electronics For Imaging (EFI), a leading global company in digital technology, have announced a strategic partnership to bring to market a next generation digital front end (DFE) to drive Xerox digital production presses.
The agreement includes the sale of Xerox’s FreeFlow Print Server (FFPS) DFE business to EFI. Under the terms of the deal, EFI will continue to produce and support FFPS so current customers do not experience interruptions in sales or service.
Xerox’s expertise and unique functionality from FFPS will be integrated with EFI’s best-of-breed Fiery product, giving customers a market-leading offering. Customers will benefit from EFI sales and technical field resources working side-by-side with their Xerox sales reps to offer a best-in-class solution.
Xerox and EFI have established a long-standing partnership. Most recently, Xerox collaborated with EFI to develop a new print server, the Xerox IJ Print Server powered by Fiery, to drive the Xerox Trivor 2400 Inkjet Press. The DFE handles a range of data streams, while enabling integration, comprehensive colour management and seamless integration with customer workflows.
Andrew Copley, president, graphic communications solutions, Xerox said, “Customers will gain a powerful solution with more efficiencies, performance and quality to meet the most demanding production requirements. EFI is an industry leader and has a proven track record with performance, ease of use and seamless integration with industry workflow solutions.”
Guy Gecht, CEO of EFI said, “This next step in our strategic alliance will give customers the industry’s highest performing DFE with unparalleled imaging and colour management. EFI integration among the DFE, workflow software, and management information systems products deliver the higher levels of automation and productivity that are keys to print businesses taking full advantage of the opportunities with digital printing.” (GK)
