EFI and Epson Bring Accurate,
Affordable and Easy-to-Use
Proofing Bundles to Market.
EFI and Epson have launched
new Designer Edition product
bundles in Europe, bringing
a unique and complete
proofing solution to creative
professionals. Combining
award-winning Epson Stylus
Pro printers with an industry-
leading EFI eXpress for Epson
Software RIP, these bundles
are engineered to deliver
powerful yet easy-to-use
solutions for professional
graphic designers and
photographers, enabling them
to print their creative visions
with unsurpassed colour
accuracy.
Included as part of the Designer
Edition bundles are the Epson
Stylus Pro WT7900, the Epson
Stylus Pro 4900 (with or
without SpectroProofer) and
the Epson Stylus Pro 3880. The
combination of these printers
and the EFI eXpress high-quality
inkjet RIP gives users the unique
ability to create colour accurate
comps, proofs or mockups,
alongside RGB photographs. The
software includes sophisticated
yet simple to use spot colour
support with embedded libraries
for DIC, HKS, PANTONE and
Toyo, ensuring accurate colour
reproduction out of the box.
True Adobe interpreters allow for
complete compatibility with the
latest design suites on a Mac
or PC.
Marco van Niekerk, senior
product manager LFP at Epson,
said: “These bundles have been
put together to give agencies
and design professionals a
complete solution to easily
achieve high-quality print and
colour reproduction. Together,
the Epson printers and EFI
RIP ensure that proofing is
consistently accurate, repeatable
and can be achieved simply, at
an affordable price point.”
“EFI is proud to have once
again been chosen exclusively
by Epson to bring a powerful
proofing workflow solution to a
diverse new marketplace,” said
Stefan Spiegel, general manager
of Fiery inkjet printing application
products at EFI. “Now, creative
professionals in Europe will
have a unique, complete and
affordable solution to meet all
of their contract-proofing needs.
These Designer Edition bundles
fill the gap between high-end
proofing solutions and entry-
level RIP offerings, providing
the identical accuracy to a
full-featured EFI proofing RIP
while reducing the price point
dramatically.”
The Designer Edition bundle
can verify every proof with
an EFI ES-1000/Eye One Pro
spectrophotometer or with
the optional Epson built-in
SpectroProofer for the Stylus Pro
4900. From job submission to
proof, everything can be done
automatically, including the
verification result printed on the
proof as a label. The verification
feature is a convenient, easy-
to-use solution for quality
assurance based on ISO 12647-
7/8 or house standards. It
measures and compares colour
values based on Ugra/Fogra or
IDEAlliance control strips and is
an essential tool for successful
and reliable proofing.
