EFI Designer Edition
EFI™ Designer Edition delivers a powerful tool to output accurate proofs, full colour printouts and brilliant photos using the same RIP/inkjet printer combination. Specifically targeted at small to medium-sized businesses, the software is simple to install, minimising set up time. The solution also achieves high-quality colour easily. In addition, EFI Designer Edition ships as a hybrid version, so it can run on Mac® OS X and on Windows®, eliminating integration hassles.
Feature Highlights
- Advanced proofing capabilities. EFI Designer Edition produces accurate colour proofs in the creation stage, allowing designers to find and fix costly errors early, saving them time. It also simulates the accurate final press output. In addition, photographers can easily convert their RGB images to CMYK and produce colour proofs that accurately simulate the final image digitally before going to the offset press.
- Accurate colour. The solution includes several key features for advanced colour management. Its Ugra/Fogra Media Strip 2.1 allows users achieve correct colour, while Spot Color Editor supports an unlimited number of spot colours and libraries for Pantone®, HKS® and Toyo.
- Bright, vibrant printouts and perfect black and white pictures. The integrated “RGB workflow” guarantees the inkjet printer’s full colour gamut, enabling users to achieve output with vivid, saturated colours. The simple greyscale conversion with five shades of grey ranging from warm to cold enables users to create several picture versions that communicate different moods and messages.
- Seamless integration with other applications. With Adobe® Configurable PostScript 3™, EFI Designer Edition integrates effortlessly with other illustration, photo and layout applications.
- Extended profile options. The flexible EFI Designer Edition includes reference profiles for selected printing methods such as offset or newspaper, and paper profiles for EFI media and printer manufacturer’s paper. If users prefer to create profiles, Profile Connector enables them to produce and integrate them into the workflow.
