Konica Minolta Business Solutions Europe and Fiery, LLC, the largest independent provider of digital front ends (DFEs), have released five new Fiery® digital front ends (DFEs) as part of their ongoing and long-term partnership. These new DFEs are based on the latest Fiery platform, Fiery FS600 Pro, and customised to drive maximum productivity for a wide range of Konica Minolta production presses, saving time and increasing profitability.
The Fiery FS600 Pro is the most innovative and user-friendly Fiery DFE, providing unrivalled performance, superior colour, and intelligent automation for digital printing. The new Fiery DFEs, fine-tuned to the Konica Minolta presses they serve, enable Konica Minolta customers to simplify and automate job preparation, colour management, and processing while ensuring print production runs smoothly at maximum capacity. They are customized to deliver the best possible press utilization.
These include:
- Fiery IC-319 and IC-318 v3 DFEs that drive the Konica Minolta AccurioPress C14000e/C12000e colour production presses for the high-end production printing market.
- Fiery IC-319 and IC-318L v3 DFEs that drive the Konica Minolta AccurioPress C7100/C7090 digital colour presses.

- User-friendly colour management automation. New, easy-to-use colour automation and spot colour processing features ensure superior colour accuracy and quality while cutting operator and profiling time by up to 50%.
