EFI™ Colorproof™ XF, a professional-level RIP, enables you to manage the colour supply chain from design to production to output by providing you with all the tools to produce the best colour. It allows you to produce ISO 12647-7 / 8 compliant validation printing and contract proofing and G7 compliant proofs on inkjet, laser and LED printers. The solution is ideal for ad agencies, prepress businesses, publishers, newspapers, packaging companies, full-service printing houses, semi-professional photographers and print shops.   Windows and Mac compatible.

What's New In v4.5?

  • Produce jobs faster with native Windows® 64-bit OS support and multi-threaded halftoning for dramatically increased RIPing speed.
  • Profit from easy and efficient production and finishing of ready-to-use car wraps, super-wide outdoor banners, signs, posters and mock-ups thanks to the new 'EFI Cut Marks' option.
  • Benefit from efficient processing of jobs with variable content (posters, flyers etc) with the new Job Merge function.
  • Maximise the output quality of production and photo jobs with the new Dynamic Rendering intent.
  • Expand high-margin business with refined packaging mock-ups, labels, decors, posters, banners, signs and fine-art prints that incorporate special white, varnish and/or metallic effects through XF's sophisticated support and handling of specific printer inks.
  • Benefit from staying on top of verification standards and customer requirements: the new highly versatile Color Verifier supports latest industry verification standards and allows you to configure individual 'house' standards.
  • Experience on-the-fly job verification and job optimisation of RGB, L*A*B, grey, CMYK, 6 and 7 channel jobs with the new enhanced Dynamic Wedge™ (patent pending) for process colours, spot colours and now even spot colour shades.
  • Is a flexible cross-platform client/server application
  • Integrates easily with Open Standard workflows
  • Is simple and fast to use
  • Modular for maximum flexibility
  • Fully automated and remote proofing workflow for fast turnaround

The basic package starts with the EFI Colorproof XF Server, an unlimited number of Client Options and Printer Option M. By adding extra output and production options, the solution can grow to meet your business needs. EFI Colorproof XF caters to digital, commercial and hybrid printers, prepress providers, publishers, creative agencies and photographers.  View production and output options

Cross Platform Client/Server Application
Application wizards and an intuitive user interface make ColorProof XF easy to set up and use. You to easily manage each job, output configuration and location in a remote proofing environment, regardless of whether or not you work in a Windows®, Macintosh® or mixed environment!

Integration with Open Standard Workflows
The product can be easily integrated into open standard workflows, so you can do tasks, such as produce ICC compliant proofs according to ISO12647-7/8 or G7 or process PDF/X files or process PANTONE® Plus spot colours. Colorproof XF also supports the latest technologies for streamlining and enhancing workflow communication, such as the Adobe® PDF Print Engine.

Its Color Verifier Option also verifies any proofing standard based on presets. In addition, individual presets can be defined with the criteria and tolerances as needed and can even be specified if they are normative and informative. Updating existing or adding individual standards also can be done quickly and easily.

Simple & Fast to Use
A user-friendly interface, tutorial wizards, automatic modes and preconfigured workflows make ColorProof XF quick to learn and easy to use.

Modular Concept for Maximum Flexibility
Colorproof XF’s modular architecture allows you to customise it to meet your specific needs and operation size by adding the appropriate product or output options.

Achieves Accurate Results Every Time with Breakthrough Colour Technology
Colorproof XF comes with many features that produce consistent and accurate colour every time. It lets you easily optimise the colour quality of the included linearization/profile sets, and comes with intelligent calibration features that bring back your system to its original state.

With the cutting-edge spot colour simulation technique, Colorproof XF also creates spot colour simulations with challenging low Delta Es. DIC, HKS, PANTONE and Toyo spot colour libraries are onboard. Spot colours also can be routed to any type of spot colour, including white, gloss or metallic inks, and the flexible spot colour editing tools enable you to manage colours easily.

Multi-channel job proofing also becomes simpler because colours and channels are automatically routed to each other as long as the multi-channel reference profile includes the colour names that match the channel of the job.

In addition, the solution’s integrated remote proofing technology lets you easily set up remote proofing workflows and ensures consistent proof results at any location in your remote environment.

Adapt to Specific Job Colour Requirements with the Dynamic Wedge
The Dynamic Wedge™ is a dynamically created control strip that shows a job’s key and spot colours for verifying and, if required, optimising the job’s colour accuracy. It is perfectly suited for colour-critical print jobs where a static wedge (e.g., Ugra/Fogra media wedge) does not reflect the key colours adequately or spot colours at all.

Get the Closest Match to the Final Run
While proofs usually match the final run in terms of color, they often times look too “good (or smooth)” because the final run characteristics typically are not simulated. Colorproof XF’s final run characteristic simulation features deliver the closest match to the final run. Missing dot, first printing dot and noise simulation are powerful features for matching the press characteristics in particular in gravure and flexo printing.

The combination of Colorproof XF with the latest printer technology and the embedded spectrophotometer lets you maximize your productivity with an automated workflow. The technology handles each step of the color measurement process automatically from linearization, profiling and calibration to optimization and verification. It also enables you to print labels directly on the output.

Offers Fully Automated & Remote Proofing Workflow for Faster Turnaround
In addition, the solution’s integrated remote proofing technology lets you easily set up remote proofing workflows and ensures consistent proof results at any location in your remote environment. By adding EFI Web Control Center, a Web-based application for remote control and distribution of proof jobs and the latest printers with embedded spectrophotometers, you can profit from the most efficient remote proofing workflow ever. Speed up your production and save money on expensive courier services. If you only want to do processing, printout and verification of your remote proofing jobs, then choose the affordable EFI Colorproof XF Satellite.

Maximum Productivity with Comprehensive Production Features
The solution’s tools transform your printer into a fast and efficient production device. These features include tiling, step & repeat and colour adjustments. In addition, its outstanding nesting capabilities lower your production costs dramatically by decreasing paper waste. Plus, an optional comprehensive cutting solution allows you to cut your print jobs and produce anything from contour-cut graphics to packaging mockups.
